I Spy with my Little Eye


We've been collecting I Spy patches to make a great piece of Wall Art for the new School.  The school opened last week, so we got in to see the space where our wall quilt will be.  We are making a hexagon I Spy Quilt with black triangles.  Besides the 300 hexagons, there will be splashes of the colors in it too to accent the colors of the school.   The quilt still has another day (or two) of work to do, but we'll get some help from members on this coming Monday.   
Architect's colors.  We matched accent
fabrics pretty closely, don't you think

Ann O. working on cutting out fused letters for
the Schools name.  

JoAnn G. cutting out 600+ black triangles

Kathy F. working on the special accent
colored triangles.

Joan B. has a wonderful place for us to sew.
She's sewing those triangles onto two sides
of the Hexagons

Don was sewing the triangles on each side too.
He needed a bit of a repair mid way through.
Anyone want a drop of oil?

JoAnn G. adding a final whimsy touch
to the School's Name Block before
giving that final pressssssss.

It's mid-afternoon.  We are placing all the patches in a pleasing order.
Stay tuned.  More to come in a couple of weeks.
