    Hi ladies. Just wanted to show how much fun I'm having with my candies. I'm making my dad a 9-patch throw!

    That's a great project, Logcabin!

    Gaijin, your birthday candies are finally in the mail from me. I suspect they will be picked up tomorrow morning by the local post office. They should be there in plenty of time for your bday. Stay well everyone. I'll be missing from the board for a little while. Unfortunately, no quilting in my immediate future. End of semester with tons of grading going on.

    LogCabin, how sweet of you to make your Dad a throw. He can snuggle up under it and keep warm, with plenty of candies to look at! Candy squares make great 9 patches.

    Two more finishes! Yea! What fun. I got caught searching blocks for images so, I turned your postings into
    "I Spy" quilts I spy a HST, a sock monkey, McDonald's "M" and on and on and on. Fun. Thank you for sharing your progress putting your 2.5s to work. Simple, sweet and quilted to perfection.

    Sewbiz - your quilts are great - and the quilting make it pop!
    I got a flimsy done and realized all my batting and backing are at my sons house. I had a request for lapquilts for the nursing home and thought there just might be a bird lover amongst them! Loved using all the greens too!

    Both are lovely. My 11 years old grandson is fascinated by the first quilt with the solar system borders and wants one "JUST LIKE IT". (quote)
