I have decided to put some of these candies to use in a Split Nine Patch, pattern by Bonnie Hunter on Quiltville. Spent the morning looking through the swap candies and putting all the low volume together. Such wonderful fabrics, so many I have never seen before. So much fun!
I love that pattern! Can't wait to see your quilt.

Sheri, the flamingo mini quilt is adorable. What measurement exactly is the 1.8"? 1 and 5/8??? (Don't make me use my math brain!) Your tiny piecing is so sweet. Love your big spiral quilting, too.

I hope my package is in the mailbox today! I can play with them...

LoL. Well how about 1-1/8" for my tiny ones. I tried 1" and they were just a tad too small for my liking. Thanks for the comment on my quilting. Not perfect. It's suppose to make you think of ripples in a puddle, while taking focus off that dark square smack dab in the center..... It's part of the color collection around the flamingo so I left it in. Plus I got to lazy to switch it for a lighter square-which I actually considered doing.

Just came from the mailbox... all the way back to the house I was sure I had Sheri's package in my arms! But at the house I saw it was actually a pkg from one of my I Spy swappers! Good to get that one, but it's not what I was looking for today! I'm sure Sheri's will come on Monday.

I'm leaning towards this one, these days... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/572379433868805161/
Of course, with our 'candies' the design would come out much smaller, but I think it would be awesome.

What are the rest of you planning to do with yours?

My candy arrived today! Thanks, everyone. And thank you , Sheri for hosting. I've not opened it yet. I'm going to be gone on a mission trip to Louisiana for a week, so I'll open it up when I return.

Thanks SheriR and everyone else! What fun! My candies arrived today and they are gorgeous! They seem to be saying "broken dishes" to me but I'm not sure yet.

Thats adorable!! And thank you for the extra goodies! You're a wonderful hostess!!

I received my candies yesterday. I love them all. Sheri, thank you for the "piece of Florida." When is the next swap?
