    After some searching and a good dose of patience I found i!. In the Free Patterns tab, scroll waaay down to the end. There it is. It is an easy one and but the best part for me any way, is she has the measurements for putting the 9 patch blocks on point. I know, I can figure setting triangles and corner triangles but she has done it for us. This would make a terrific RWB or totally scrappy quilt or slimmed down to be a baby quilt. If my calculations are correct this pattern would make use of 540 little squares. Not bad. Thanks for the suggestions sewbizgirl and ibex94.

    Lovely idea! I'm working on my Christmas tree first (don't know which one yet... gotta lay out what I have), and then the rainbow cross for Easter.

    I went through my stash and pulled out the I spy 9 patches I had made. then went through my "new" candies and pulled out all the squares that I could use. Do the same pattern that Wmuteach used - 9 patch with white in middle and 9 patch with ispy candy in middle of white.
    Of course looking at all the candy I got last year - wow - everything from toilet paper to ants! amazing assortment! thank you all

    Oh my gosh, I see some of the cutest designs in there!

    Since I'm new to the swap, if anyone has a fabric that you're not sure you've sent before, feel free to throw it into my batch. I haven't received any of these! *Big Grin*

    Busily slicing away! Pretty cards in hand, too. Can't wait to send out my first packets!

    That is absolutely perfect, LAF. I seldom have sets of 50 that are exactly alike. I try to use up smaller cuts of fabric and it never fails that I will need 20 and only have enough fabric to cut 17 from that fabric choice. Ok, back to the stash and add something else.

    My cutting day is Saturday during the Virtual Quilt Weekend. Join us to work on a project, cut, bag or take on that new pattern that uses our 2.5 sweeties. Raggiemom will post the thread in the MAIN area on Friday morning of the designated weekend. Fun and very flexible as to what you do and how much time you chose to give.

    Great novelty blocks, TG!

    Grandbaby boy decided to get born today.... before they had figured out what his name should be! I've been calling him Baby Henry for months. (My dad's name was Henry.) I am IN LOVE with this little fella!
