What is a candy square. I am still relatively new to the new world of quilting--my granny taught me to quilt in the 1950s. I know a lot of the new expressions and love the new way of scrappy quilting--but candy square is a new one to me.

They have10" Layer Cakes, 6.5" Charm Packs and Honey Buns, turn overs and Honey Combs. http://www.unitednotions.com/equivalent-measures.pdf "Candy" is another name for the little 2.5" mini charm packs. And they're addicting without the calories!

Hello ladies...sign up is going well...with our 12 veterans returning from last year we have already added 4 more quilters!

To answer some questions (you did great SheriR thanks :) )
let's quilt: yes all fabrics need to be different. 50 different to each birthday girl.

oldtnquiltinglady: candy square just a sweet term for 2.5" square

A charm pack is 5" you could cut a charm pack into 4 equal pieces and have almost enough squares for four different people. (I think charm packs have 44 pieces...check for doubles).

Hope this helps and I hope you join the fun......you will LOVE your birthday month!
