I Spy Quilt- Finished!

Remember when I posted about my I spy squares? I finally finished the quilt! I love it when you envision how something will turn out and the finished product is just what you were hoping. This is one of those projects. I absolutely LOVE how this quilt turned out.
I did 10 rows with 8 squares. I ended up using 80 squares and had a few left over.
For the side and back I used Moda's Hunky Dorie. I really like how the two contrast each other. ( While taking the picture my daughter was on the other side yelling out what she saw. :)
 I also tried making my own bias tape. It was a lot easier than I thought and really fun. I love the yellow and polka dots around the edge.
I also used some light weight warm and natural in the middle. It was a little tricky stitching through all those layers on my sewing machine but I really love how it turned out.

The best part? My 2 1/2 year old loves it! It's a fun blanket that the entire family can enjoy.

I Spy Quilt Squares

I've been collecting fabric squares to make a I Spy Blanket. I think I might have close to 100 now. Each square measures 4x4. I just went through my stash of fabric and came up with a little over 50. Then I had my Mom go through her stash and send me some. I also got some from Whoopdwhoop as well. Here's a peek at some of my favorites.

I really like these trees and birds that my Mom sent me.
I'm loving this Banana print! It's perfect because my daughter loves bananas!
I've had this carrot fabric for a while. I snatched it up at the D.I. I love it! I'm also using this for another project that I'll post about soon. I'm almost done. :)
 Aren't these mice fun? 
Now all I need to do is just start sewing. If you've made a I Spy Quilt before do you have any suggestions or tips for me? I'd love to hear them if you do.
