Taffy Kisses

Sweet pastels combine with white for today's baby quilt. I chose lilac, pink, green, aqua, melon, and yellow prints from my remnant boxes.


These easy blocks stitched up quickly on Laney, my pretty blue and white Singer 301. I found just enough of a large dot fabric (from my latest bonanza) to add a coordinating border. I cut these manually to make sure the dots were centered.



I switched to the Janome for quilting to use the serpentine stitch. White thread in a 2” grid pattern is a good choice for this design. Taffy Kisses finished out at 42” square.


Accuquilt dies used:
55018 Small Value die, 4” and 2” squares
55017 Strip 2½” for binding




Sewing machine rehab update: We've collected several vintage machines over the past few months, so they're lined up waiting for their turn on the workbench. One's in process of being painted now, so watch here for the reveal sometime soon.
