Do you choose the colors that you use in each block, or do you reach into a bag and sew it together? These fabrics just seem to go so well together even tho scrappy so it makes me wonder about selecting. How did you come to the final size of the block? Is each one a different lay out, or did you make a pattern for the solid pieces of fabric? Did you make this up yourself? I love so much of what you do, can't think of any quilt that I didn't like. Thank you for your inspiration. <br /><br />I know you took a break from blogging for awhile. I missed you while you were gone and checked back frequently. I am so glad you're back. Just thought I'd throw that in, too!<br />jeri<br /><br />jcleveland03@comcast.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-60570748671889142122011-09-17T20:24:37.032-05:002011-09-17T20:24:37.032-05:00Love this quilt.

Big preponderance of the day: How does one politely beg quilters to let go of their selvages for a person who only see herself making selvage quilts? I made one and now the rest of the tribe want quilts made by mom and my gifted box of selvages is almost gone. Now, back to the "Candy Land" squares.....how did you do it? (I am a real novice).
