That's the name I've come up with for my Christmas quilt. As I look at it on my design wall, it reminds me of the hard candy so prevalent when I was small--ribbon candy and round flat disks with a design in the middle. The colors all sort of swirled around and that's what they do in this quilt. So far, anyway.
I have enjoyed using my new Accuquilt GO! to cut. By layering and using both fabrics, one run through cuts all the pieces for each block. I've used fat quarters of the Sentiments fabric and some scraps of older fabrics I had in my stash that blended. Each block is different.
Here's one in progress:
And here are two as I ponder the sashing:
Here's a view of four of the five rows before I began adding the sashing:
Don't they remind you of that swirly candy? I have three rows complete with sashing now and hope to have the whole top joined tomorrow. Then there'll be the border fabric to decide on. This whole quilt has been decided upon one step at a time, even though I did create a prototype in the quilt program part of my Explorations software. (I gave myself permission to change the plan at each point, but it's turned out looking pretty much like I originally planned.)
