oh...but chocolate and water do mix!

Two of my many favorite things. Water (blue). Chocolate (brown). Oh, but then there is coffee, too. Hmm...perhaps this brown represents coffee?

Do you do that? Tend to be inspired by food? The color...the texture? Or perhaps it is nature that inspires you? Flora and fauna...water...rocks or mountains or sand dunes.

Where am I going with this? Nowhere, really. Just things that I tend to think about daily. How about you?



Just how many chocolates...or...umm...browns do you think were consumed...or umm...used in this quilt?



The girls at my favorite little quilt store -- the Comforts of Home -- pieced this quilt. I machine quilted it with my Swirls...the hand guided, template followed pattern that I absolutely love!

But you knew that, didn't you! Posted by Picasa

And she said outloud first thing:

"Wow! This is a really, really cool quilt." ~ that's the hot off the presses reaction.

Then she clicked on the photos and said, again outloud "Amazing". That quilting is simply beautiful. Another raw reaction. The real deal.

I love these colors together. I savor brown. I tend to make up stories for my quilts. Stories that go back into history usually.

Great quilt, and I have no clue how many browns, but lots! And blues, too. I love your swirls on there. Now I don't know whether I want that or your all over feather stuff on my Baker's Square. I guess I'll let money decide. =)

Imagine Darcie, how tasty can be drinking a coffee while eating a dark chocolate.

Fantastic quilt.

Food? Me? HA! My addition has been called a seven layer bar! Mostly butterscotch walls, one chocolate wall, a graham cracker floor, and a white coconut ceiling!! Hmmm....now I'm hungry.

Loving this water and chocolate...I mean blue and brown quilt! And the quilting!!

I was driving through farm country the other day and all the brown fields were plowed with brilliant blue skys. And big patches of bright green grass/trees. Nature does provide such beautiful color schemes - I think brown and blue go together perfectly. And what a lovely quilt!!! A winner. Cheers!
