Happy Wednesday!
How many of you played Candy Land when you were a kid?
I'm making a scrap quilt right now that I refer to as "Candy Land" because I chose colors or patterns that reminded me of the game. My brother and I used to play it occasionally.
Anyway, I had fabric in the right colors and decided to make a scrap quilt. I chose to make hourglass blocks but didn't want them to match. I don't do well applying a casual attitude towards color and fabric choice. So I pulled a bunch of scraps and made a bunch of hourglasses...
Originally, I wanted to just piece it all into a crib quilt. I made a four patch as an example.
And then I made another:

This is waaaaaay out of my wheel house. Thoughts?
Thanks and have a great day!
