Dipped in Chocolate


I participated in a swap a few years ago for a quilt called Dipped in Chocolate. It is basically a bazillion 4-patches. Remember when my package was seized by the post office as a perceived terrorist package?? This is the package!

I brought them with me to North Carolina as one of my projects...perfect for mindless sewing with friends who are laughing and telling stories!


This is just a small pile of them, which are 1-1/2" finished! The strips are 1-1/4".

I got a fairly light solid for the sashing. I was able to use Bonnie's Accuquilt to subcut the strips! Love that machine




It'll be cute when it's done and was perfect for this week's retreat. 

Back home tomorrow and babysitting Friday!

    I had not been sold on the Accu-cut machines but you can't argue with the speed you cut all those pieces--amazing!

    Those tiny 4 patch blocks look like so much fun to play with. The design layout a good one for such a mixture of fabrics.

    I still love this quilt! Mine was on the way to being finished when I lost about 5 rows that I had sewn together. They still have not been found :(
