Box of Chocolates Quilt Along Parade!

Hello and Welcome to the first Parade of the year!  Wow oh Wow did everyone make pretty quilts, I was happy to see some returning faces and some new this year.  And if you want to join in , its never to late!  Come when you can!  Please leave some love for these lovelies if your at the parade!

Now I know your excited to see whats on tap for next month and I think thats the best part, seeing what is next and going to pick out the fabrics...hehe...I know I already have mine picked out and waiting in my basket, so I won't make you wait any longer!  Turn to Page 225...........
Answer All Invitations That Ask You to RSVP!!  DARLING!!!!!  I picked this one when I started reading the instructions...okay okay, looking at the pictures at how easy this quilt comes together and it looks complicated to anyone else with its design!   Love it!!! So start pickin those fabrics and sew!



And now the Parade....Oh the lovelies.....grab that cuppa joe or tea and sit back and enjoy the show!!!

Here is mine....I chose valentine colors to grace my table, then I made doilies out of lace and topped them with a brown yoyo, you'll have to enlarge the photo to see the lace under the yoyo's....to me it looked like those wrappers in a box of chocolates! lol  on my display I added the valentines treat bags I made in this post Valentine treat bags.





Vivian from Iowa made two versions this one in Reds....I Heart this one


                               

                                               And this one with lovely cream colored buttons!

  3. I made this quilt too. It's quilted but not bound. I did not see a link or address so I could send mine in too! Could you please post how to do this? I hope I'm not the only dummy that does not know how to do this?

  5. Beautiful, eye-catching artwork! It's nice to see how the quilts can be used to decorate a table or be put up as a wall-piece.
