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.
