Project Steps:
Once you have all your fabric cut out and ready to go this quilt will come together quickly.

To make your “candy wrappers”, place one 2.5” white square on one half of your 4.5” rectangle, sew a diagonal line across, trim and press seam, then add the other side of your flying geese. Repeat until you have 30 flying geese “candy wrappers”.
Using a 1/4” seam foot add the candy wrappers to the “candy” squares. Arrange in the order you like and add your white sashing starting with the short pieces, then adding the long strips. Next, add the long white sashing to the sides and trim any excess. Attach your border pieces and press.
Spray baste your quilt sandwich and quilt as desired. I have outlined each candy using the Dual Feed walking foot with a red 50 weight Aurifil thread. For the Candy Stripe border I used number 161 from the stitch chart, I think it adds the perfect finish to this sweet project.
Trim your quilt and add your binding using your favorite method.
