BTW if anyone is looking for a hand project to do, hand piecing the half hexagons for the braided quilt is a good one. I cut an extra strip of 2.5" fabric as I was cutting the candy squares. Each strip yielded about 10 half hexagons. I marked the 1/4 inch seam allowance on the wrong side of each piece and I am now working on the braids. I figure that I will need 5 braids, so 50 half hexagons per braid plus the sashing should give me a decent size lap quilt. We have competition this weekend for the the cheerleaders and my mom will be in the hospital for a week so this is a good take along project.
