Chocolatier is finished ~ just in time for the Naples Quilters Guild Quilt Show! Such a gorgeous pattern by AnneMarie Chaney ~ I'm so happy I could finish it in time so that lots of people can see it.
I did straight line quilting with the walking foot for the background. For the blocks, I did some simple free motion quilting using theads to match the colors in the blocks. It's the most FMQ I've ever done, but I'm happy with the result!
I love a scrappy binding.
The back looks like some crazy road map.
