Happy Birthday, Reba! Enjoy all of your candies and your special day.
Very sorry to learn that your halloween-loving friend died. Your tribute quilt is amazing.

Log Cabin, I'm sure your Dad will love that quilt! So much to look at.... I found a couple of my candies in there.

Thanks everyone! We have whiteout conditions forecast for tonight, so it will be a hot chocolate and The Holiday or Love Hard movie night ;-) Hugs all!

LC, I like seeing those 2.5's at work. I searched for some of mine and, well, I don't remember from year to year what I send, so I think I saw one of mine but not sure.Tee-Hee-Hee. Who cares any way, the squares are now warming your dad and that a lovely whimsical finish. So many patterns to gaze at.

Reba, It sounds like you had a cozy birthday. Thanks for sending the snow squalls my way. It now looks like Christmas in southwest Michigan. Such a lovely scene as I look out on "my" marsh all decorated with snowflakes who have danced their way here from Lake Michigan to my back yard.

Would love to see a picture of your snowy scene, if you care to post one. Here in Mississippi snow is an uncommon occurrence.

I decided I would make blocks of 9 patches of low volume, with a bright color center. Thanks for that idea, whoever suggested it. Last night I went through my candy boxes and started choosing the brights. I'll do 13 rows of 10, so I hope to really hit my neutrals hard!

Fun!
