I've been slowly working with my candies, making blocks of 25. Most of the squares are from the swaps I've been in, most from last year's birthday swap. There aren't many duplicates. The pic shows a few completed blocks, and some pinned 5 block strips ready to be sewn into sets. When I get 25 blocks completed, I'll probably add black sashing although now I'm thinking about other options. Since I'm a long way from being finished, there's time to audition a few fabrics with the blocks and then decide. Just wanted you all to see your candies aren't going to waste!
BTW, I didn't plan on that checkerboard pattern but it quickly became apparent that I'm most comfortable pulling light, dark, light, dark etc. so that's what I'm going with.
