The quilt is 12" x 12" and I started out with a fabric background and border. When I started this quilt I had intended to create it all in fabric, but as I proceeded and became frustrated, I switched gears. I ended up painting the plate, chocolates, mug, vase and flowers directly onto the fabric. As I was painting I wondered how well I'd be able to free-motion quilt through the paint. The fabric had become a little stiff because of having to paint on a few layers of paint. But I didn't have any problems.
I named my quilt Choco Latte. I love looking at all the fancy chocolates behind the glass in a candy shop. They look so elegant, artistic, and expensive. I also love mocha lattes and when I got to thinking about it...I decided that the word "chocolate" should have been spelled "chocolatte". By the way...it's dark chocolate for me, hands down.
