I finished the quilting on the reversible I-spy quilt! Yesterday I quilted the back to the batting making a grid by quilting in the ditch. Then I pin basted the top to the batting aligning it with the grid. Then I quilted a zig-zag line that went through the block intersections and through the I-spy borders. The one drawback is that those intersections are quite thick.

 And I'm going to use this stripe as the binding. I am trying to be as productive as possible because otherwise my unsupervised mind wanders in misguided directions...

Tommy would note that dressing like Harry Potter for Halloween lacks imagination.
 
And before I forget, I made another red, white and blue Placid Curves quilt to donate to an auction for a local nursing home. It, among others, is currently available in an online auction that will be finalized at an event on November 1.

    Your I Spy looks lots like the one I made that is my banner at the moment. It's the same border idea. I think it sets the squares off just right. Have you ever seen mine? Stop by and compare!

    Love the optical illusion, too. How generous to give it for an auction.

    Thanks for telling how you finished up your I Spy.
    Placid Curves...that's just plain awesome.
    I guess I'm going to have to search around your blog to see how you made that.
