So many cute ideas! Love the Christmas Tree and the heart!

I thought I would share a few of my older quilts with candies. I also have a cute Valentine's Day wall hanging and I used a number of candies to give an interesting dimension to a a quilt made with dragon panels. Obviously that could be interchanged with any panels and any candy colors!

So anyone on the fence - please join us!! There are so many uses for these beautiful fabric squares!

Irish, I like your blue quilt and the idea of using the small color blocks not for the whole piece but as filler that surround the fussy cut picture pieces. I know that I get stuck in making the whole quilt from the little 2.5s and it doesn't have to be that way. Thanks for the good reminder.

Nearly finished with cutting my squares for this year. Yeah! Taking my time and folding and returning the remaining fabric carefully back into its bins. My little bit of organization for 2022.

Well, I got home from a week stay in the hospital. I got Covid pneumonia at our church service on Christmas Eve. I'm weak as a sick kitten, but it feels so good to be home again. This is day 20 of the plague, and I'll be quarantining for another ten days just so I don't spread this awful disease even more. Hopefully, after that amount of time I will no longer be contagious, off of the oxygen, and will feel strong enough to do something... anything!

It will be a while before I'll be up to preparing my candies, but I'm really looking forward to participating this year.

Don't worry about cutting the Birthday Swap Candies for a while. We do not have a birthday until March. Take care of yourself and the swap will move ahead and you can catch up as you need to. Plenty of time to recover, make color choices, then cut, and send. Will keep the prayers going for you. ;)
