Your use of candy squares shows the amazing creativity and talent of a top notch quilter. Ingenius.

Valentine Candy Block

Hi - I made some of the Valentine Candy blocks and would like to have instructions on how to put them together for the top that is pictured. Can anyone help me?

It has been fun participating in some "candy" swaps to get thousands of different fabrics. The current swap is in this thread: Birthday swap 2017/2018....... Sign Up. 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: Candy Dresden Wall Hanging/Mug Rug

Since the main blocks are heart shapes, I thought it was appropriate to name the quilt "Valentine Candy."

Here is a tutorial on setting quilts on point:

Below is how I laid the blocks out. I used 1.5" finished sashing between the blocks.
