I got together a big box of novelty prints (14 pounds’ worth) to send to a friend who makes charity kids’ quilts. While I was doing that, I came across a stack of triangles (4-1/2” cut in half) of I Spy prints. I had another small stack of bright yellow triangles the same size, so I started sewing them together. I ran out of yellow before I ran out of prints, so I grabbed some purple tone-on-tone. Same. The came orange, then blue...throw in a little greeen...
I didn’t have a plan originally, but here is what I ended up with. That gave me the idea of starting this as a Christmas gift. I will add another border or two.
I also came across a small stack of bright pink squares while I was hunting. Same plan (no plan). Here is where that stands. I am using the pink and white 4-patches as leader/enders for my third spontaneous project.
Here is my third project. A table mat in the making. Pieced, but not trimmed yet. This will also get a cream then colored border

All three projects look great! I love the way you positioned the colored triangles to kind of spiral out across the quilt top. For no plan it looks wonderful! The four patch one is fun, too. I have made quite a few I Spy quilts for my Grands. The enjoy playing with them. Your last project is nice, the fabrics are so pretty and I like the design. Keep having fun!
Yeah - Your "friend" IS so lucky who became new owner of 14 lbs. of fabric bits. I'll bet those novelties become beautiful kids quilts! 8-))))
