Per my idea to sew some smaller things this summer, I made this little I Spy pillow to go with the recent monster-sized I Spy quilt I made. The pillow is made up of 25 squares of 4 inches each.
Even though it's quite small, there is lots of I Spy potential I think because I really tried to go for a good variety of fabrics.
This little beaver is the kids' favourite. I guarantee that "the beaver" is the correct guess if either of them are spying something brown.

Also in this photo, you can see the herringbone/baseball stitch I used to quilt it with. I really like how it turned out and I think it added some interest to this little pillow.
Here's the back.
It's bird, it's a plane, it's Super Pillow!
I am thinking this would make a perfect Christmas gift -- it is handmade, can be personalised by choosing very specific squares for each child, and doesn't take near the time a quilt does. If I made it again I would try a slightly bigger pillow form, so I could use 36 squares. With 36 squares I think there would be tons of I Spy fun packed into it.

Thanks for stopping by. Since it's Tuesday, I'm hanging with some other fabric-lovin' friends over at Fabric Tuesday.
