Just had a thought. If you have kids or ever have a visiting child this quilt would make for a great I SPY game!

What a neat idea! Instead of an "I Spy" quilt, it's a story quilt! Kids of all ages will enjoy this memory quilt.

I think it looks GREAT! I did have a "moment"...what's with the daisy print...? Then I realized they are fried eggs! Love it!

Thanks everyone. It is like an I Spy except there are no kids here. LOL

Dawne, I used 20 fat quarters for the whole thing except the inner borders. I still had lots of scraps so probably didn't need that much. I cut 9 1/2 inch squares for the center and then 6 inch wide X 10 inch pieces for the outer border. It's about 50 X 60 finished. I meant it as a lap quilt and he is quite tall so hopefully it will work.

What a sweet idea! It's an I Spy for a grown up and everything represents something special. Very creative! I think it came out really nice-that black inner border helps to anchor all the prints. Great job on your quilting, as usual!

Your quilt is beautiful, and such a great idea for a memory quilt!

Thank you so much for the pic of your well done and very interesting quilt.I love the variety. I want to make a "things I like" quilt for my 14 yr old GD and your quilt is such an inspiration as to how to arrange it. That inner border is a great idea too, ties it all together. My GD loves purple so I'll have to throw some of that in somewhere. Thank you for sharing. What a special Valentine Gift.
