This is my blog post that I shared with Oopesy Daisy Readers yesterday. I thought you all would enjoy seeing it.

This is a fun I Spy Baby Block that I whipped up in just a few minutes (ok maybe 1/2 hour)

You will need 6 square pieces of fabric. Mine are 5 inches. Also, if you are wanting to to add the appliques you can find them
here.

I used 4 appliques.

Raw edge applique the animals onto the squares that you would like them on. Sew about 1/4 inch away from the edge of the applique.

Sew the squares together like in the picture above. Repeat with the 3 remaining squares.

Then sew the squares together as above
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4LvfU43rtdNDo4a3Vg8z5O_Xn8ek1EE983SBo7j6EA9OWOm59hYRDXWLLIhl5iuo00T5p_xc5pAiCnlOSu83p6AMPTWAGaiLG9239lki7nKWovZ6SHfMHFIvh-3-nNUM9M7U4JQRy0UxW/s400/055.jpg)
Now sew the 2 separate 3 square sections together. Notice that I sewed the sections together wrong. 2 of the animals ended up being upside down...

Sew them together all the way around so that you have a block. Make sure to leave a small hole to turn the block right side out.

Turn the block right side out

Now stuff the block with batting or really small fabric scraps
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLOk1SfSHsMpG_1htMLWvzySxehbW5M1SaFUEiWIxolZ5x0HmDxMLpjIlw8QnY2yyV7VuSPutfEIeASiOibvz0jhzgxqTl4iFXSRwb2iNawwKqGA58moHY0WN4G5sr1nNoYKNTwSgKTAVS/s400/066.jpg)
Sew the hole closed with a needle and thread. I hate doing this part, but remember that the smaller hole you leave open the less you have to sew back together :)

Now try and take pictures of your block...this is my failed attempt. The wind blew the block over the railing and my dear 4 year old saved it for me. Man I love that girl

Now you have a really fun I spy block.
