2023 - Birthday Candy Swap (2.5" squares)
#211

Has anyone mentioned the free patterns at Quilted Twins yet? Many use smaller squares but could be adapted to our candy. https://www.quiltedtwins.com/free-patterns.htm

Good to hear from you, Reba!
I catch Pat Sloan every day but seldom watch the whole video. Today, February 8, she posted a free pattern for a block that uses lots of 2.5's. It is large, 16", so a three by three layout with sashing would make a good sized baby quilt or a throw. (This lay out is in the pattern too!) Going to make a test block and see what happens when I dig through my collection of birthday squares.

So as I was waiting for the glue to dry on my sandwiched postage stamp, I decided to go through stash and cut up the pieces that were bigger than 12x12. My daughter doesn't like to use paper towels or napkins , so I make her towels for the kids to wipe their finger, spills, mouths etc... Just cut a square or rectangle and use my serger to put a rolled hem on them. Last bunch I made was probably 10 months ago, so figured she needs new ones. Great use of larger scraps.

How lovely to hear from you, Barb! Hope you are doing well. With the new start-up date, my birthday is first instead of being last. What a treat. Hope you are able to join!
