    To you sunrise450, the happiest of birthday wishes. At 81, you deserve to slow down a little. Happy Birthday, Lisa

    Here is a picture of the Granny Square quilt I made while I wrote the tutorial. Easy, no waste Granny Square block tutorial
    You could use candies that were all close in color for each round since you might not have duplicates. Just make sure you have enough contrast between the rounds.

    Faintly- you sure have an eye for design. I can see how your method saves on time and fabric.

    Omgosh! This is a great idea. I’ve spent most of today cleaning up my sewing room which includes sorting scraps and candy squares. I could absolutely do this with what I have on hand. Thank you for sharing this idea.
