I spy blanket
I spy with my little eye 56 squares that help a journey go by! I wanted to share these fab “I Spy Quilts” my mum made Lil H and Diva G. This is Lil H’s lots of his favourite things including pirates, footy boots, trucks, tractors & bees, the owls and spiders are my favourite!
Each block is a different fabric using loads of different colours, images patterns and fabrics, my two love their little quilts. Diva G’s has mermaids, rabbits, ducks, fairies, cakes, bees & stars but the flip flops are her and my favourite!
These “I spy” blankets live in the car, the children use them to cuddle up in, to count things, to find things, I challenge them to keep them entertained and *cough* stop them falling asleep! “Find me something yellow”, “find me a spider”. They make fantastic gifts, Grandma made a really big one for Lil H’s pre-school when he left to start in reception and it’a loved and used by many. We love our “I Spy Quilts”, thank you Grandma! We hope you like them too.

Claire these are wonderful and such a great idea.
I’ve made some quilts for my little girl and an I-spy one will be next on the list.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Ruth, sadly I haven’t inherited my mums sewing abilities, I am going to start sharing some of the beautiful things she has made on the blog for others to see. Cx

Love these
I’ve got talent mother and mother-in-law in the sewing department, and father-in-law is into carpentry, model engineering etc. The toys & items they’ve made for #boy10 are still treasured now.
We’re very lucky to have these traditional items – we need to up-skill so we can do this for our grandchildren
Do share some more
