I Spy a Triple Treat
I Spy a Triple Treat Quilt
I finished making this I Spy quilt in time for Jack’s 3rd birthday. It ended up very bright and busy – just like Jack! The blocks are made from 3 different sixed squares – 2.5 inch, 3.5 inch and 6.5 inch. The large squares, 15 in all, I chose carefully to reflect the things that Jack likes. The smallest squares are a mix of I Spy and tone on tone fabrics in red, yellow, orange, blue and green. I avoided purple and pink, this is definitely a quilt for a boy.
Featherweight in Action
I made Triple Treat on my Singer 1950s Featherweight. In fact, everything I’ve sewn in the last twelve months has been on this Singer. It runs like a charm. Because this Singer is so small I used a Quilt As You Go (QAYG) method to quilt the single bed size quilt. I enjoyed QAYG; it’s so nice to finish the top and find the whole quilt is done.
And did Jack like his birthday present? See for yourself!

The quilt’s lovely – nice bright colours! Rather a coincidence that this post should crop up today just when I’m in the midst of laying out the squares for an I Spy quilt on the living room floor!
A happy coincidence surely! The living room floor is my biggest design wall .
Love the quilt Sharon and Jack certainly does too.
Everytime his mum tried to have a good look at the quilt Jack covered himself up with it. I was chuffed with his response.
