Way back in January I found out the Fat Quarterly was looking for submission ideas for using mini charm packs. I had several ideas for charm packs drawn out and thought they would work equally well with the mini charms, so I thought, "Why not?" and posted my ideas. Lo and behold I was one of several gals whose ideas were accepted! I was really excited, and kinda nervous too!

| Candy packs are so darn cute! |
The girls at Fat quarterly were so nice to work with...encouraging the creative liberty to make just about anything! I've never done something like this and they really made it a pleasure!
One "Candy Pack" and lots of HSTs later...
and I had myself a sweet little simple sampler!
I love all the colors in this line!

Little four patch blocks!
Yep, there is a mistake! Can you spot it?
I never did, until it was bound!
**smiling and shaking head**
I machine quilted the sashings and hand quilted the little 3 inch blocks
I would have loved to have had some perle cotton on hand!

It's just darling. I did find your mistake, but it took me 5 minutes. I never would have found it if you hadn't mentioned it. I love all the different blocks. Just. Plain. Cute!

Congratulations on being published, Sarah! Your mini quilt is so sweet and cheerful and I really had to look hard for that "deliberate mistake" :-) This is a tiny stunner!
Congrats on being published!
that really is so cute! I never think of making blocks with candies, I just tend t use them as small squares!
This is absolutely adorable! Totally NOT finding the mistake. I say there isn't one :) No, really I studied every one. I don't see it. I do however know that for me taking a picture and looking at what I am working on is the only way I see 'potential design changes' ;)
