candy coated III

Thanks to a little bit of focus and a lot of perseverance, I finished piecing the third version of my candy coated quilt.
I love this pattern because it EATS fabric scraps! (That's a good thing!)
Lots and lots of strings.
Lots and LOTS of thread.
Lots and lots of color. Just the way I like it!
(Shoot even the back is pretty!)

Pattern is Candy Coated, found in Sunday Morning Quilts.
(It also happens to be the one featured on the cover.)

It measures 65" x 88"....so a lovely twin size quilt.

In case you are wondering, I haven't run out of scraps yet!

  11. That is such a fun quilt top. If I made it, my scraps would be gone. Your scraps must multiply when you aren't looking. ;)

  47. I must say I adore your book. It's the only crafty book I own that is getting tattered from so much use. And the Candy-Coated pattern is one of my favorites! I'm itching to make one (or 10!) as soon as I finish up my current projects.
