His bedroom has blue tones and he is also a big aeroplane fan, and so, earlier in the year, I had been collecting fabric to match. It was helpful that we had a road trip to Mudgee, Katoomba and Sydney in April and I could visit a few fabric stores in person.
So there's some Dr Seuss, pirates, wilderness, bugs, owls, Nemo, Diego and Castle Peeps.
I also pieced the back...
with some really cute tone on tone prints and leftovers.
I collected some older-boys fabrics and went for a green theme. My mum had given me all of her leftover children's fabrics and a pack of 'Wilderness' fabrics that she'd ordered from 'Keepsake Quilting' in the US.
A simple green backing...I hadn't yet discovered piecing.
I have my single-bed + sized work quilted by a lovely lady in Ipswich Queensland named Judy Speikjer. She has a long-armed machine but does the FMQ by hand. She is so talented and consistent.
I think I love I-Spy quilts because it's eye-catching, fun to collect, fussy cut and piece.
I love this type of I Spy Quilts. Much better than the ones with sashing around each block and all the same size.
