I Spy....an Octopus!!

This is an octopus that I just stitched out on my embroidery machine. Soooo cute. I am working on a baby quilt (of course!)...just playing with ideas right now. I thought about doing an "I Spy" quilt but not a traditional one. An "I Spy" quilt is a quilt that has dozens of pictures on it. Around the border of the quilt you embroider things to find in the quilt. You can play with your lil one and the quilt by starting the game you say "I spy a..............puppy" and the game is to find the puppy in the quilt. I want to have the quilt top have lots of different fabric novelty prints, some embroidered blocks (like this octopus that I just tried out), some appliqued blocks (because I am a glutton for punishment), and some paperpieced blocks. I want to put all of the blocks together in a creative, cool, clever, and cute way. I am not stuck on the blocks all being one size either. Different sizes adds interest to the quilt I think. The picture of the octopus is a design I downloaded off the net and stitched out on my embroidery machine. How cute is that! Love-n-Stitches..... Patty
