These 2.5 inch squares are addictive. I can't get enough because I keep finding new patterns I want to make.

I say, "I'm suppose to sew mine?" 
because my daughter is better than I am, here's what she made. The quilting she did, as you can see, was very simple X's but it sure did give her baby gift a fantastic look!

Marybrace, You could not close your package with your sets and return envelope enclosed, then have your postman weigh it, buy the postage for the package and the same amount in postage in stamps for your return envelope, put the stamps on your return envelope, replace your envelope in the package, then seal it up and mail. So far that way seems to work for me...

sustraley, oh! thanks for sharing! It never passed my mind to separate out the colors like that-- I don't know why! because the first time I swapped candy I cut all teal colored charms for 2 sets (100 different prints)... I looooove blue and yellow together. It's beautiful. The backing looks like marigolds. :-)
