The crib sized I SPY! @ 36inches x 48 inches (No need to piece the back, but too big for a craft sized batt.)Do you see the special treat?
Fussy cut JACOB, but not enough to have them all aligned perfectly. (I have some "perfect" letters, I need to find them... They were set aside for a special project...) Oh & there is a preponderance of aligators on this quilt... The "A is for Aligator", "Aligator wearing an argyle sweater", & "Aligator on black holding a gift." No idea how that happened... (Except that those three prints garnered a "giraffe with grapes" and "giraffe with a gift" and a "B is for bear" on the previous I SPY quilt... (That one probably could have had a "G is for Giraffe" - I need to check... Now that would have been funny... At least to me since I study the prints.)
The backing will be these gargantuan kitties (the one on the right)!
The ones on the left are the "normal" sized kitties. I found the huge ones at a "quilter's yard sale" several years ago - I snatched them up lickety split!

Love the JACOB! I have a small amount of fabric with the alphabet in sign language and wish I had more -- seems like every kid's name begins with J, and mine are now all gone ...
That is cute. I really like the green one with the bugs.
It's a wonderful I Spy quilt, Amy. So cute how you got J A C O B in the blocks. The quilt will provide many, many hours of entertainment.
Oh the fabric! Years ago, I made myself a vest out of the backing fabric with the smaller of the kitties! Corduroy, I believe it is (I still have it), with a violet back and lining. I loved that vest. So cute.
Love his name in there! So cute!
I love this one, and the Jacob is very cool.
this turned out really nice! Love the letters!
