Just a quick check in from me. I'm working with lots of last year's candies as well as some from other swaps. I'm making 25 candy square blocks - at this point. I've almost got enough 5 blocks strips sewn together now to make 25 blocks of 25 squares. Does that make sense? I'll probably sash them in black or a grey and make a quilt for the basement sofa. It's right next to my sewing room so i'll be able to see it all the time. This idea was one I saw posted here on this thread I believe, a couple of months back. It is easy to remember: 5 blocks of 5 rows of 5 squares by the same down. 25 total blocks so I'll be using 625 candy squares. And I've barely made a dent in all my squares and I since I'm the last b'day girl again this year, I'll be getting plenty in February to restock the stash!
Today, though, is being spent at my mom's house. She's selling it so it's being painted and here I stand, at the kitchen island, my laptop set on top of an empty old plastic cat litter container. (Not a cat box, a box that was used to hold the fresh litter from the store. I definitely want to clarify that.) It's actually makes a great stand. Perfect height for me. But I'd rather be quilting!!!
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
