Sewbizgirl, thank you for leading the QAL. Although I did not participate I plan on making this quilt real soon. I will be sure to post pictures when I do.
All my time lately has been devoted to my UFO king size quilt that I started a couple years ago for our bed. It is now on the quilting frame with only 4 more rows to go. It will be nice to have this one off my UFO list. The plus side if that I do have all my fabrics sorted out for the blocks. Was working on that as the quilt was being stitched.

I found an pattern idea for us to use our squares in! 
Found it on www.weddingdressblue.com. She called it the Calico Rose quilt along. From last year. Pattern also uses half-square triangles.
I'm going to use some of my squares to make one of these--for myself! Also maybe a smaller one for a "blessing" quilt.
I like that the pattern makes 16" finished blocks, when using our squares.

Just got back from Easter holiday and had candy packages waiting in the mailbox! I received from Imanna, PatricksMom, Rosemary Attaway and Moonrise. Thank you so much, ladies!! I'll be good and save them for 4/9!
Going to leave feedback for you all now.... <3<3<3<3

If you enjoy working with small pieces, check pout the Splendid Sampler. This is a very creative series, free, and fun.
We are on block #13 but you can go back and see the blocks. A Facebook group shows wonderful work being made.
My first 12 blocks are dedicated to the election of my preferred candidate.
