Wow, sewbizgirl! What a cheerful quilt that will be. Great pattern - another to add to my list.

I have done several Arkansas Crossroads but I really like the small print on the white. It gives the quilt a bit of a textured look. I always used plain white. Guess I need to be more adventuresome! Good looking quilt.

My stack of cards is growing, and I'm not sure I can stand to wait until my birthday. I'm getting really excited! Thanks ladies!

Thanks... I try to collect a few neutral backgrounds to use in place of plain white. I like them so much better!

I have so many candies in greens and blues... I could do one of those quilts with just those colors. Hmmm, the wheels are turning.

Sewbizgirl... I love the Arkansas Crossroads that you made. They do look like they are floating on top of the white. I need to add that to my list to do!

So far I have made a huge Arkansas Crossroads, this new smaller Ark. Crossrds, and a Scrappy Swoon quilt with my swap candies. The Swoons are just beautiful, but I hate wasting nearly half the candy squares on all the HSTs in the quilt. There are so many fun patterns for our candies. I think I might do a maze quilt too.

The Scrappy Swoon really seemed to eat up the candies... I used up nearly all my pinks!
