Using many of the 100+ fabrics containing Jewish symbols Ferne has collected, this quilt is unique and a true labor of love.
Novelty fabrics featuring the Menorah, Star of David, lions, Torah, crowns, goblets, doves, bird nests, Jerusalem, dreidels, and gelt (to name a few).
Isn't this a wonderful way to share and teach faith to children?
While they look to find the matching picture within the quilt, allows a perfect opportunity to teach the meanings within the symbols.
An I-Spy quilt can be applied towards representation of many faiths and beliefs.
After meeting Ferne, I have begun looking at novelty prints in a whole new way.
I will now be aware of Jewish symbolic fabrics, and wonder if Ferne has this particular piece.(probably so!)
And I would like to start collecting symbols in fabrics that represent my values and faith.

A wonderful use of "novelty" fabrics.
OK, now, this is really cool
You did a wonderful job of sharing Ferne's presentation to us. I know I learned a lot. I enjoyed reading your comments. I think my favorite also was the I Spy. I have made several for grandkids.
What an interesting quilt!
How beautiful! Mazel tov to the maker. :)
an "i spy" quilt with a theme is a fabulous idea.
i love it!
they are truly a labor of love.
i wasn't sure what i was getting into when i decided to make one for my grandkids.
probably the most i've ever spent on a quilt!
collecting all those fabrics can break the bank.
but, the smiles are totally worth it.
Such an artistic approach to display symbols and such..love the quilt.
