Sunday Quilt Inspiration: C A N D Y

Happy Valentine's Day! I thought we might find some inspiration from the candy that sweethearts tend to rely on as the perfect gift. I hope my sweetheart brings me one of these: 

A detailed, scrumptious look at the chocolates in Whitman's Sampler back on 1955.
maybe one of you could give him a call and tell him.  Be specific. Say, "Go to Walmart and buy a Whitman's sampler for Mary for Valentine's Day. No other kind. Whitman's. Just Whitman's." Then write it on a piece of paper and hand it to him. Yes, it's like that.

This was a tradition at our house at Christmas. It still is today. Whitman’s Chocolate Candy Ad Bob Hope (1950):

Forget that I told him what I'd like. Then I told him what I want. Your job is to remind him that it's Valentine's Day and what, exactly, I want for a gift.

    Chocolate is good, especially if it is dark with a touch of sea salt. My perfect gift is a Gift Card to the Spa!!!
    Wishing you lots of love on Valentine's Day and the whole year through.

    I've been thinking about heart quilts, though I do this from time to time and so far it hasn't resulted in anything. I really like the one here made from sort of pinwheel-y blocks so that it has jagged edges - that's clever.
