JennR8R made a tutorial for her pattern. Valentine Candy Block . It's such a fun pattern! Jenn, if you are lurking here, thanks for your pattern! 
I think I might make another one to keep.

If any of you are followers of Pat Sloan you will have seen this pattern today as part of her Summer Soiree sew along. Today's block is a variation of the Arkansas Crossroads block. The link is below. It would eat up lots of 2.5's .
The first quilts I made from Birthday Candy from my first swap was a pretty close version of this same block. Yes, Indeed, I has so many little candies that I made two quilts from them.
Big group of swappers that year!
