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.
