Sewbizgirl, are you adjusting the Patches for Life pattern for 2.5 inch squares? Or are you cutting them down to two inches? I hate making adjustments to patterns. I get all tangled up and end up with something I did not plan on. Tee-Hee-Hee! That pattern looks like it would use a "PILE" of squares. Good choice.
I got it put together the other day... all I bought was the red calico which was a Keepsake Calico from JoAnn's. I knew it was going to work the minute I saw it. This is a BIG bed quilt. Full size, if not queen.

I forgot to hold my phone horizontally, so the photos loaded sideways. QB always turns vertical photos sideways.
And I don't remember if I shared this one with y'all... made from a picture on Pinterest. It's a lap quilt size and will be donated.

So you see I really AM trying to use up my squares. But I could make these two quilts ten times and not use all I have! Every time I cut up scraps, I end up with a new stack of them. They are relentless.

Crispy: Are you waiting until your b'day to open them all ?
Lucia: adorable, regardless of when it got done
Teach: OMG....sewing a straight line after all that Crown. Sounds like something the gals I hang around with would say! LOL
SewBiz: Oh MAN....that is one beautiful creation!
If I keep looking at what everyone else has done with their candies I will NEVER be able to make up my mind! Now I have 4 patterns in my head. Mercy!

Hello everyone
Here is a quick post for the June birdie. I am going out of town but I will bring my computer to get caught up on messages as well as to check for questions on June's birdie.
Something is very special about this block. I really did not like the original block so I was going to design one. Well LuciaLPL beat me to it! She designed this sweet block......hope you all like it.

Jaba, one of my quilt guild members was making a Crown Royal quilt for someone else during our retreat this past April. (She got a lot of ribbing about how she managed to consume that much alochol and still be able to quilt a straight line.) The quilt colors were beautiful but..not my style. You sound so busy how do your manage to squeeze in time for quilting? Oh, forgot. There are priorities aren't there?
The block I used is the "square in a square". It was ummm... INTERESTING to say the least!!
