Most of the challenge with using candies is in color placement. So I'm going to look at this as a challenge on color selection. And it also is not cutting into yardage, so it fits into my goal of reducing my FAT (fabric in totes) collection.
January package went out today tool
Love the FAT reference, my goal too and in more than one way!
. I pulled out my mega bin of scraps and cut for a while this afternoon. Originally my plan was to do a deep dive into my "pink" bin, but I pulled back to just my scraps. Perhaps those pinks can become backings or backgrounds. I have lots of colored 2.5s from swaps and other projects but not enough to make a whole quilt in one or two color ways. We will see what I end up with! Tee-Hee-Hee. Cut, cut, cut, stitch, stitch, stitch then press.
