It seems these little blocks have been 'aging' long enough! Some were worked on last summer, some early this summer and when there was time to finally put them together--it is always a challenge to find interesting and satisfying blocks to make as charity quilt tops. Oh, yeah, most times a simple and quick pattern will be used but when this pattern was spied on website of Selvage Blog it was a definite yes! to sew. There is also a tutorial Asterisk Block and it is simple! A good way to use up those theme fabrics. Look at the great border fabric that was in a bargain bin--just perfect for a quilt!
Last summer there was a fabric exchange of 5" blocks. A large pile just rested on the cutting table waiting for inspiration and then it hit--another simple quilt. This is a great "I Spy" quilt--just 5" blocks and 2" connector corners--takes time to sew but the finished project is worth it.
I Spy--hot dogs, dog bones, basketballs.............
