The pattern is also available separately. I am no longer cutting full kits for the i-spy quilt but the pattern gives the yardage requirements for the rest of the fabrics. I like to use an Essex linen/cotton blend for my off-set squares because I like the texture change and it’s so much easier to work with than 100% linen. I buy it from Canton Village Quilt Works. I use the colors Natural or Sand. (And it’s a great time to buy from Canton Village because the whole shop is 15% off through June 28 with the code welcome15.)
Also listed is a charm pack of 3.5″ squares from American Jane prints. All of the fabrics are out of print and hard to find. These squares could be used with the i-spy squares for a cute little project or would be great for hexagons. I used many of them on my hexagon project last summer (I use the 1.5″ size hexagon template – that’s 1.5″ per side).

June 26, 2011 at 3:01 pmJust ordered the I SPY charm squares, it's the perfect little quilt to make to use when I go hang out with my grandkids! I also purchased a Baby Geniuses Speak up charm pack and very well might end up making this a reversable quilt! Thanks for the inspiraton!

June 26, 2011 at 3:09 pmOops, that should have been I 'purchased the Baby Geniuses charm pack RECENTLY from another online shop', they are cute but certainly not fussy cut like yours will be ๐ Didn't want to confuse anyone reading. (need to use that preview button!)

June 29, 2011 at 11:21 amI just recieved a set of your i spy squares that I bought from you. I love them, but was wondering, didn't you say the pattern came with the squares? Or do I need to purchase it separately?
