Linda's "I Spy" Quilt is finished!

Linda made the most adorable quilt ever for a child.  It's called Eye Spy.  There's 117 squares separated by sashing.  Each square is a different object, like animals, things around the house, etc.. that a child can point at to learn the names.  Linda added 5 borders, some large and some narrow.  Each block received a flower motif.  This same design was then picked up and used on a larger scale in the wide outer border.  A circular design was used in the black inner border.  All of the borders were stitched in the ditch.  And then, to really make this quilt fun, Linda used a white minke backing with extra long nap.  It feels like my kitty, Romeo.  Who couldn't resist that??  Nap time just can't come soon enough.
