You can quilt with colorful foil candy paper wrappers.
I was eating some Rollos and was intrigued by the colorful candy wrappers....all Eastery colors...pink, green, blue, gold. if you unwrap them gently and press them flat...you get about a 2 1/2 inch square. so, being a quilter....the brain went to work.
I found a star paper pieced pattern that could use that small piece and this is what i got.
The block will finish at 5". it was easy to work with. i fused the candy paper to muslin. i see a wallhanging happening here. if you look closely you can see the Reese's peanut butter cup logo. too cool!
I have wrappers from Rolos and Reese's and Nestles and Hersheys. woohoo!
So far i just have this one....but i am saving and fusing wrappers and there will be more to come
