360364Wow! How nice...isn't it nice to make something and keep it for yourself. I find my admirers getting all the things I made for myself. I have to learn to say, "It's mine."

13907Excellent job. I love I Spy Quilts and have made a few for children. They love them.
30631wow this is really incredable! you must be very proud & I can see why you would keep it
1843That's a lot of WORK!!!! I had a Great Aunt that made a quilt like that for the year 2000! I didn't get it when she pasted away or I would post a pic of it. One of my cousins got it. I will see if I can get a pic of it sometime soon. I'm sure it was great therapy for you. How are you doing since the surgery? God bless you, take care of yourself!

I was originally only going to add about 50 squares. It took me about 6 weeks to do the top. Thanks designcrazy
55526622Wow, this is something else !!!! I would have kept it for myself too. And what a great thing to remember great times had in the past.

19452Now that is a great idea. Keep a quilt for yourself. I know that anything that is 2000 pieces I definitely would want to hang tightly to it also. How did you quilt it?
19439very cool. i wish i could see it up close. great talent.

4081I am in awe! It reminds me of Legos or some computer game,from a distance. And I too,like green, any shade-Toogie
109038This is awsome !! I have been saving bits of my favorite fabric to figure out what to do with it and it kinda gives me anida of what to do . Thanks foe showing it off and it is absolutely AWSOME!!!
3442Oh my goodness, my hat goes off to you! This is an incredible piece of art. I don't blame you for keping it yourself. That's alot of (beautiful) work.

62459amazing amount of work. thanks for the close up, that shows more how it is. Great job
57801Very nice. A labor of love!! A couple ladies in my senior center sewing club have started making 1-inch patch postage stamp quilts. I cannot believe how fast they are coming along, but it all started when another person threw out scraps too big to toss. :) I really like your quilt and would like to make one some day too!

mine took only 1.5 inch pcs but you can (I have) make them any size that you want. I will say that it is MUCH HARDER to do it in such a small size fabric wise. I try not to be wasteful & I am also a fan of recycling. Swaps are good too.thanks justonlyme
16260I tis amazing. I wonder if something like that would be good for a stroke and/or seizure patient?

well when all of the (6)Dr's saw me working on it @ (all @ different times)each of them commented on the therapy aspect of the quilt, not to mention lab & nurses too! But now it is difficult sometimes for me to search for too long.

I made a few of the I Spy Bags and gave a couple to my car mechanic for his twin daughters. One of the girls was Autistic and her therpist thought it was a great idea for these children. Now that I am retired, I may get in touch with the Autistic society and see what they think. I made one for each of my Grandkids and they spent hours playing with them. Great to take on a car trip. Kept them busy for quite awhile.
211078Its lovely but i can't sew on such stuff it makes me dizzy lol I think it is from inner ear problems i have but i to like green but****** your doing a great job hugs
36036415256this is a close-up shot sew that you could see some of them a bit better, they finish @ one inch each. You name it , it's probably in there as there are no 2 alike!
