Candy Coated

A friend ask if I would help make quilts for a family who recently were burnt out of their home. As every quilter would, I agreed, and then headed for my scrap bag.


I found just a few scraps that I thought would work for a ten year old girl.


I cut and slashed the pile into manageable sizes, pulled out my Sunday Morning Quilt, and got to work.


I threw a little thread at the quilt!


And here it is.  "Candy Coated" ready to go.

I'm linking to finish it up friday hosted by Amanda Jean, one of the authors of the Sunday Morning Quilts book.

    This is really pretty. I love the colors and the quilting is just great. All you have to do is put out the call and quilters are ready to go. I'm sure the recipient will love it. This is great inspiration for those of us who have lots of scraps to use up.....
