I Spy Quilt

By Janet Wickell, About.com

Definition: An I Spy Quilt is made from fussy-cut fabrics, usually children's prints or other types of novelty fabrics with motifs that depict objects the child can "spy" when looking at the quilt. I Spy Quilts are typically made from squares, since they are easy to fussy cut, but you'll also find quilts made with other patchwork shapes.

Examples:

Pattern, I Spy a Snowball Block

I Spy for Kevin, made by a member of our quilting community.

Also Known As: Eye Spy Quilts
