If you're a quilter like me, you may have as many quilt tops as you have completed quilts. I really need to try to finish my tops... including this one called a Cotton Candy Quilt which is made up of tiny pinwheels.. I still need to sew about eighteen more blocks to finish this and this project also got me thinking about a story from my youth about cotton candy which you can read further down in this post. For now, let's take a closer look ...
Quilts, Gardens and a Day in the Country

Deal Me In
