Hello everyone! This is my first time participating in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy from Amy’s Creative Side and I’m really excited. This past month I made a baby quilt for Anne’s (my daughter) God Mother. She is having her second baby, a son, in December. I offered to make her a baby quilt and she asked if I could also make a crib skirt to go with it. That was a first for me but luckily I found a great tutorial that was easy to follow for that!
I wanted to do something special and original for her, so using the fabrics she picked out I designed an “I Spy” quilt of sorts. I call it “Eyes Crossed Spied”.
Here it is before quilting – we live in Western Washington and I was never able to get a shot of the quilt after I quilted outside in natural lighting.
I took a picture in my daughter’s room of the crib skirt and the quilt. Keep in mind my daughter is almost 3, so I don’t have a full crib anymore to show off how adorable the crib skirt truly looks, but you definitely get the idea!
I had so much fun designing and making this quilt. I am actually planning on offering it as Quilt-A-Long in the new year.
I love your quilt and I love the name! I’m terrible with naming quilts so I know who’s helping me next time. :0)
Such a cute quilt. Love the robot fabric!
Very cute! Your block design is really interesting..
What a fun quilt! I love the design. Oh, and we all love The Sneetches!
very bright and cheery!
Love how this set came out. He is one lucky baby boy! 🙂
Oh you did great!
I hoped you would share this one for the festival! =)
What a great quilt! I love the colors, and it will definitely grow with him. What a warm and loving welcome.
I hope today goes well for you. Thinking good thoughts and pausing to say a prayer, too.

Very sweet!
Darling. Great baby quilt. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
Looking forward to the Quilt Along,so I can make Sorenna a sweet quilt like this one! You will have to tell me about the partial seams? Good luck in the festival (although I doubt you need any luck in the sewing dept) 😉
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,today and every day 🙂 Thanks for the Squishie,it arrived today!!
A. I love the Sneetches too!
B. What an awesome quilt top. Robots are incredible – I always love to see them in quilts. And I like the way you did a plus quilt combined with an I-spy quilt – it looks great! I am glad you entered it into the quilt festival.
cheers!

What a fun quilt!
Looking forward to the QAL!
I think a quilt along would be fun……..
I love patterns like that – ones which are much more complicated looking than they actually are. I look forward to the tutorial. I envision another AmHero quilt!
