Penny Candy is a fun quilt to make that uses four fat quarters (you will have left-over fabrics), plus a background fabric. The quilt is made of up two units, that use half-square triangles. This mini quilt is a great afternoon project. Mini quilts are lovely as table toppers and wall hangings, and they make excellent gifts.

Speciality Rulers
I’m a huge fan of using Specialty Rulers to make triangle and flying geese units. I teach this method in my Learn to Quilt Booklets. Below are some of my favorite rulers:
- Multi Size 6″ Flying Geese & 45 Degree & 90 Degree Triangle
- Easy Star & Geese Ruler
- Easy Angle and Companion Angle Rulers
These rulers are NOT required to complete this pattern.

from 568 reviewsThe pattern is well written. I haven't made any of the blocks yet, but the instructions seem easy to understand.
I haven’t started this quilt yet, but the instructions are clear and easy to understand.
Its a easy pattern to use up my 5" squares .
Cannot wait to starts. Love PDF
Love the simplicity, but enjoy how it looks detailed.
I have NOT yet made this quilt, but I did read through the instructions. They are clear and well-illustrated. I think it will be fairly simple to do, provided I can keep from stretching those bias edges!
I received the pattern. Thank you! I have not made this yet but looking through the pattern, it seems easy to follow and I love all the step-by-step photos. I look forward to making this quilt in the near future.
Looking forward to making it.
Unfortunately recovering from thumb/wrist surgery so no quilting for awhile but I look forward to using it in the future.

Well designed sewing activity project organizer and planner.
I have so many hankies and this quilt looks like a lot of fun to make. I have been cleaning out my sewing/craft room and hope to start on this in a month or so. Thanks for the neat pattern.
I can’t bring my heavy machine, so I was very glad that there was the option to rent a machine.
