2019/2020 2.5" Birthday Swap
#71
Hey, Jennr8r, I just got a Facebook message from a friend about a cool heart quilt she found online that she thought I might like because it might be made of 2.5 " squares. Yes, indeed it was your heart and mini dresden plate top and bottom borders. I tried to see if any of my squares were in your quilt but it is likely. It gave me a big smile and a giggle. I have had a brush with the famous!
I did an internet search for Valentine Candy Quilt and found my quilt alot! Someone posted it on Pinterest and people were asking her about how to make her pattern.
Even this blog that is also on Facebook posted it today and the post wasn't originated by me: http://quiltingdigest.com/make-your-...-heart-blocks/
Right now there are 322 comments and 3,386 shares!!!
I'm so honored... Thank you for letting me know. I'm off to read some comments! This has made my day!

Wow knowbies! You ladies sure are quick with the candies. I only have enough cut for 8 birthdays right now. For some odd reason it takes me longer to cut 2.5 squares than 5", 6" or even 10" squares. What's the trick? The best I can do is cut 5" squares then quarter them. I only feel comfortable cutting 6 in a stack.

Queenbarbie,
I cut WOF strips (even if it's a fat quarter) and press and then carefully line up 5 strips on top of each other. Then I line of 4 rows of five strips, and cross cut them to 2.5". I bought a stripology ruler and that makes it real nice as I don't have to move and reline up the ruler for each cut.
