Here is another idea for candies. I found this pattern on a blog, and can't find it again! It uses candies in a checkerboard pattern for the center.

I only had about half what I needed for the center, and decided I would not use more than three squares per fabric. so now I have a lot of floral candies for swapping. Just need to get the packed up!

March birthday candies were mailed today and should arrive early next week!

Macybaby, the quilt you made is so fresh and just oozes a spring time vibe. I hope someone can find the source it is lovely. Thanks for the good idea for using our little 2.5's.

I found the link to the pattern for the tulip quilt.

If you scroll down, there are links to the other instructions for the whole quilt.

Thanks Macybaby, love it, bright and springy

Thank you, Macybaby! Bookmarked for a future quilt. Perhaps a baby quilt for a very special baby!.

The first two birthday envelopes have arrived! Thank you!

Here's a peek at what I've been making with last year's candies, plus some of my own scraps. Green is always a hard color for me, but this one is growing on me. Pattern is Debby Brown's "Cheer" from her color challenge last year.

That's looking good, NZQuilter!

Mailed your candies yesterday, so you should have them soon!

I am finishing cutting and catching on the blog. Should mail the March Candy out this week,,,,

Loving your greens, NZ!

Nice to hear from you ahwu!
