I Spy??

I've never really been a big fan of 'I spy' quilts...not sure why really just 'too' random or busy for my liking...but after yesterdays quiting disaster...My first ever!!!.... I decided to use the charm squares I bought when I first started quilting, from Logan's Patchwork, I think it was. I was never sure quite what to do with them but here they are....using the simple Disappearing 9-patch pattern...squares sewn together....
cut up....too busy!
...I think I will put yellow sashings around the sqaures...??

I think that's the way to go with eye spy's. They look best in some sort of setting other than all mixed together. The yellow sashing will would work well.

I'd go with black sashing, and maybe yellow squares where the sashing meets. Or try a bright spot or similar print on a dark background? DO you have a plan for the finished product?

That looks fantastic! I actually like it all lobbed in together with no sashing.. I would adore it as wall art for my daughters bedroom. You've given me an idea for some children's quilting fabric I've got.

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
