I love the way the Scrappy Swoon quilt looks. I've got to keep that one in mind!

I haven't kept up with this swap the last 2 rounds, but do you all challenge one another to make something with the birthday candy? Like a quilt along or similar? I have oodles of candy wanting to be something but theydontknowwhat. He he

Wow... SheriR did a beautiful mini Scrappy Swoon too.

Yes, we share our quilts and patterns for these candy squares! If you scroll through last year's and the year before's threads you will see photos and links to some patterns we liked. I know I have shown this before but here again is my Scrappy Swoon made with 2.5" candy. The finished size came out at 49" square.

Love the new avatar, Sheri! That's a great 16-patch scrappy... looks like an Irish Chain in reverse! What a great idea.

It's finally a flimsy! If you had made that offer before that stage, I might have jumped on it. While sewing all those blocks together, it felt more misery than mystery but I kept plugging along.
