2023 - Birthday Candy Swap (2.5" squares)
#731
TG, I would pick up one of the colors from the barn squares. Check what you have on hand. The suggestion of a rusty brown is good. But it you have a yellow, a cream, the sky blue those would do also. Like you use of the alternating blocks to break up the "checkerboard" look of the 2.5's. Clever use of what is at hand.

It is such fun to look at your blocks LC. Don't know if any of those little squares came from me or if we just have some of the same fabrics in our stash. I had to take down my Christmas Cross blocks from my design board today, so I could layer a smallish quilt for donation. Got it done and quilted this afternoon. Only the binding left to do. Later this week, up go the Christmas Cross blocks again.

Hi all. I hope your May has come and gone without major problems visiting upon you all. I have sent my June candies to you lucky June birthdays. They either left Saturday or today depending on how active the Post Office where I dropped them off has been this holiday weekend.
Regretfully, I have no time to catch up on the threads I have missed. I am running like a rabbit this month from one task to the next. I sure hope I get to retire and quilt one day! Hugs to all of you.

Hello all. I can't figure out how to link only the picture that I want, but this link will take you to a variety of pictures (I like the one labeled "198"). Not quilts, but of course my mind goes straight to "how can I make this into a quilt?". Some pretty neat ideas for our candies. Be inspired. :-)
