Valentine Candy
5 Attachment(s)
I always cut up my leftover fabrics into 2.5" (candy) squares, and I like to think up ways to use them.
It has been fun participating in some "candy" swaps to get thousands of different fabrics. The current swap is in this thread: https://www.quiltingboard.com/member...p-t285320.html. I didn't join this year, but hope to next year if they have it. SheriR taught us how to make little dresden blocks from "candy" squares in last year's swap. I used them in the top and bottom of this quilt to make it longer. Thank you SheriR! Edit by moderator: SheriR's tut is here: https://www.quiltingboard.com/tutori...g-t300467.html Since the main blocks are heart shapes, I thought it was appropriate to name the quilt "Valentine Candy." |
This is just gorgeous. I am in another swap now but would love to join this next year if it's held.

Looks lovely on your bed! I never thought about making 2.5 inch squares, may have to rethink that!

Not what I expected to see - but very nice!

Absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely beautiful, might work with 2-1/2" scraps. I use 2-1/2" scrap strips in other ways.

Great looking quilt. I cut my left overs into 2-1/2" squares too so your quilt would be a good way to use some of them or hopefully a lot of them.

Oh wow. I love this. I was looking for something like this to make for my granddaughter. This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.

Very stunning quilt, great job.

I love your quilt!

Very pretty quilt. Love the little Dresden borders. Thanks for sharing!
|
Now I know what I want to do with all the 2 1/2" squares I've been saving! Please do the tutorial. Love the quilting too, especially the little hearts above the pieced hearts.
|
Oh that's wonderful! What a terrific way to use up leftovers. You did a great job.
|
Beautiful in every way. Your piecing is perfect and the quilting works so well. P.S. Love the giraffe lamp!
