Here is a start on my candy quilt.
This will use 1600 candies - here they are sorted out by color/shade
I did the layout and printed it out and then marked colors - I don't have a color printer at home.
Started laying them out on the design wall. I have to pin, and this is as much as I can do with the pins I have.
Started sewing them and decided that using the "grid" method would work great to keep the candies in the correct order.
Then you fold the rows and sew the long seams.
And the first section done. There will be 12 sections - 3 each quarter.
I've got the second section done too - I think the sewing goes faster than the layout.
