My modern I-spy quilt has taken residence in my daughter’s room.
I’m calling it “Treasure Boxes,” for the “treasures” inside each box. Treasure Boxes is my modern minimalism approach to the traditional I-spy quilt.
I used improvisational piecing to highlight images of different sizes with a frame of pink fabric set in a background of off-white fabric. Each frame is customized to fit the image perfectly. I love that no two blocks are the same!
By using only two main fabrics, I kept the focus of the quilt on the I-spy images in the centers of the blocks.
I debated quilting curls and swirls, but in the end I took the minimalist route with simple wavy lines all over the quilt.
The I-spy pillow I made – also with improvisational piecing – goes nicely with the quilt.
We are loving this quilt and enjoy finding all the treasures in the boxes!
Linking up to Finish It Up Friday!

I LOVE this quilt! I love the crisp, clean take on the I-Spy Quilt. Great job!
Very sweet quilt! And pillow… Love the quilting. I almost thought it was the zig zag quilting done by Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts that she calls honeycomb quilting. Glad you went with the improv piecing for the pillow. Congrats on such a fine finish on both!
Perfection!
Gorgeous! All of those little blocks are just adorable.
Oh, my gosh, this is incredibly cute. What a perfect little girl's quilt!
Great quilt, the background really helps to make the blocks pop. Also, great looking texture with the wavy line quilting.
Such a lovely quilt!!!
Love the name, and it looks great :o)

Love this quilt!!!!
Love it! I also love that it is a Treasure Box and not just I Spy quilt. Much nicer for a sweet girl's quilt. It turned out wonderful.
So much prettier than traditional i-spy quilts. I love it.
I love it!!! Great finish and something she will truly treasure.
I just found your blog. I love this quilt! It's adorable and I love the idea.
What is that fabric? Finding fabric with African Americans on it isn't easy
