  
Oh, the angst that accompanied this quilt!!
My dear Aunt Marilyn turned me on to the idea of making 'I Spy' quilts
for my kids. I'd wanted an easy project to start with, so she set me up
with a bunch of 4" squares. That's were the headaches (and the fabric
hoarding) began.
I had pieced nearly an entire top of 4" squares when I found Ami's
Picture Play Quilts pattern book. A simple block pattern would no longer
do, I HAD to have the Sweet Dreams pattern! Yes, I ripped out all my
seams and re-cut and re-pieced. And then of course I had to make one
for my son, too.
After having finished this one, I see so many things that I'd do
differently... (oh how I wish I had a 1/4" foot to start with) and of
course I've found even cooler fabric in my travels. Does this cycle
ever end?!
Thanks for letting me share here!!
