Another Ribbon Candy Finish

 

It's a finish!

Ribbon Candy

Aka Half Snowballs

42 x 60

I made the top last December. 

I finished a version of Ribbon Candy earlier in the week that used 5.5 inch squares. For this one I used 6.5 inch squares.

I quilted it on the diagonals on my sewing machine. 

The back.

The quilts I have been finishing this month will go to Wrap-A-Smile 

and Quilts Beyond Borders. 

And sew on...

Ribbon Candy

( aka Half Snowballs)

40 x 50

Last year I kitted up multiples of squares for three different Ribbon Candy quilts. This is the one with 5.5 inch squares and 2.5 inch corners. I made the top a few weeks ago. 

I quilted it on my sewing machine with diagonal lines. 

It has a pieced back. 

The quilts I have been finishing this month will go to Wrap-A-Smile

Half Snowball Top (aka Ribbon Candy)

Half Snowball Quilt Top

When set like this I call the top Ribbon Candy

42 x 60

I've been going through a box of miscellaneous baggies of things folks have sent me. I ran across a baggie with a lot of repeats of some 6.5 inch squares. They were mostly in green, brown, light blue and brown.   There weren't quite enough squares for a child sized comfort quilt so I added in some squares of brown with white circles, the flowers on light blue and the hopping rabbits and other animals on the green in the fourth column. 

The Snowball corners are in the same colors -- 2.5 inch squares cut from scraps. 

After making this one I went through my 5 inch squares and gathered enough for a similar quilt and then I went through my 5.5 inch squares and gathered enough for a similar quilt. Now I just need to cut corners!

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
