The person who left comment # 4 -- also known as Linda of Stray Stitches.  Congrats!  Linda has a great blog.  I love the format of her posts. 
 In other I Spy news ... I got a few more scraps from a friend, which will be perfect for my next I Spy quilt.  Thanks Tanya!
 And I bought the fabric above -- Little Golden Books.  It will be great for I Spy hexies too as the little animals are very small.  As a side note, I bought the fabric during a trip to Fabricville so that I could pick up some transparent (invisible) polyester thread.  I will say here and now, I will not be buying any more of it.  It was SO annoying to use that it should have come with a warning label "MAY CAUSE EXTREME FRUSTRATION".  It was hard to see, pulled, curled, broke, got stuck and was a tension nightmare ... it was likely just due to my inexperience, but I know I won't have the patience to become more experienced if I have to deal with thread like that ... ;-)
Okay, moving on ... I also bought a 1/4 yard of these eyes for a Halloween idea I have.

Any finally, just because I am obviously in need of another few hundred I Spy squares I joined this swap today.

Happy Quilting!
