Well...I blew it. I put 3 charms in the February 5" charm swap and 2 in this swap. I meant to do the opposite. I think I have been in my sewing room too long.

Got my charms to the post office and mailed off to you today Lynn. You should have them in 2 - 3 days. Maybe by Mon. or Tues.

Boy or girl for me will be fine. It doesn't matter.

Thanks for hosting this one!

Very nice, Carolyn! Thanks for sharing. I don't have a pattern in mind for these squares so I appreciate the help. Lori

Carolyn, that is so pretty! I love the pattern. What size blocks did you use--- were they 6 1/2 inch? Also, how did you add the diagonal stripe? I think that is one of the prettiest I Spy designs I've seen!

those are 6 1/2 inch blocks and the pattern is on the Mccalls web site..a free one :) I put the link with the photos in that thread. I will go copy and paste it here too. I did 4 quilts I Spy and that one ended up being my favorite too. The only variation I did from the pattern was split one square and then sew it back together with the diagonal. If I remember correctly the pattern has you rearrange the half squares. The pattern is a "stash buster' pattern

I also used El's tossed 9 for one and it turned out cute too. I need to have my nephew take a photo of that one because the only one I have has Regan stretched out on top of it and although she is precious the quilt can't really be seen :)
