Yay, I'm excited for you! All that candy to open.

I thought I'd post this photo I grabbed from Pinterest, just as some inspiration on candy quilting when seperating the light neutrals from the meds/darks:

That's a postage stamp quilt, but could be done as easily with 2.5" squares.

Postage Stamp Quilt (PSQ): Wish I had done a 2.5" PSQ before working the 2" PSQ with a finishing at 1.5", those small pieces were quite daunting to line up. 2.5" would have been much more manageable for me. Oh well, almost ready to sandwich it & begin the quilt-the-quilt but must decide on pantograph. Hope to collect enough to do a 2.5 PSQ. Isn't this fun!
hugs,

No no. This is a Texas GD. The picture was taken 2-3 years ago?

Nice bags Sheri, I've never seen these before. Looking forward to seeing your new one. I started the Storm at Sea idea today, not real sure yet. Do you ladies think this will look alright??
