I still have quite a few photos from the quilt show that I haven't posted. Here are some of them. I'll post others from time to time.

I just realized yesterday that I owe a baby quilt for a friend's grandson who is due to make his entrance next month. So I dipped into my stash of 4" I Spy squares, of which I have about a zillion. After an afternoon of play, I came up with this.
I call it "I Spy a Rainbow." I'll probably add a border after I get the squares put together.
At first, I had thought I would use this layout. But I think the rainbow looks much brighter and happier, so I'm going with it. OK, I better get to stitching. Happy Wednesday, everyone.

Oooooohh, I spy a Rainbow! What a terrific idea for a baby quilt, made all the better because you already have everything. A virtually free quilt!

Susan, you're amazing! As badly as you have felt and you go whipping out a rainbow quilt...just like that! Methinks I have NO excuse not to "get with it" on my UFOs!!

Pretty quilts!
I love the arrangement for your rainbow quilt. It looks so much brighter with that layout than the second one. Isn't that interesting how the location of the blocks can make so much difference in how the overall colors "pop"?
Love reading your blog. I have been reading for about 3 years. I don't comment often but I view your blog almost everyday to see if you have a new post. I love your "babies". I am not sure how you got the cats to mingle with the dogs but they are all so cute! I have two dogs. A female Chihuahua and a male Mini Dachshund. They are 5 and 7 respectively. They get along pretty good but we had another Chihuahua for 6 years when we first got the Dachshund and he loved her but she never liked him. We had to have her put to sleep in 2008 and we got the Chihuahua that we have now. I am glad they like each other it makes the home place a lot nicer.
