I just received my fabric squares in the mail from the I Spy Swap! My boys and I have had SO MUCH fun looking through all of the fabrics. Now, I just need to decide what I'm going to make with 200 squares of fabric! I'm thinking about a mini I-spy quilt for each of my kids, or maybe a pillow, or how about a bag? What ideas do you all have for I-Spy sewing projects? Here's what I sent in:
10 little stacks of 20 4" squares for a total of 200 squares
And here's what I got back:
200 4" squares ~ 200 different fabrics!
I couldn't photograph every singe square, but here are my favorites: Mushrooms, Owls, Vintage Girls, Jungle Animals, Green Animals, Very Hungry Caterpillar, Boots, Spools of Thread, Butterflies, and Frogs.

Great idea for a swap. Can't wait to see your finished project.
I was in the Swap too.. in fact, I do believe I see my flamingos in your stash of 200 squares!
I started working on my quilt last night- I think I'm doing two quilts. I found this last night... you might get some good ideas on how to do your quilts. http://quiltinglibrary.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-spy-quilts.html
I am doing the 4 patch quilt- but I doubled the strips because I want to do 80 novelty squares, instead of 40, to double the size of the quilt. Im not sure if I'll do the inside and outside border; it might be too hard for me.
WOW! I wish I had gotten in on that one! You got quite a stash there,will be interesting to see the final product.

Hi. You have such brilliant ideas. I'm just about to commence my first year of teaching and (junior Infants, 4 and 5 years old) and have set up a blog to trace the year. Maybe you could stop by now and then over the next 12 months and offer advice. :) I could really do with it.
Kind regards and looking forward to implementing your many ideas.
