My Brother's Chocolate Quilt

Here it is almost finished.
I ran out of thread with one end of the last border to go!
Oh well.  I've squared up what I can and will get the binding on what is finished as well as the label while I'm waiting for Quilters Corner to get more 
Star Brookstones thread in.

Here's a close up of the all over quilting I did in the center of the blocks.
I like doing swirly quilting so I just built an all over swirly curly-cue type design.
(Remember to click on pics to see the quilting)


Here is a close up of the center with  the three borders.
Notice that I continued the curly-cues all the way through the borders.


Here you can see how I turned the corners.


Another look at the borders:


And now for the ever popular back where you can really see the quilting.
Oh, did I say I do all this without marking?
(Yes, it take lots of practice, but if you want to quilt you have to spend lots of time quilting.  But your reward is that is gets better every time you quilt!)


The corner again.


More borders.
Don't ya love those curly-cues?


And here is the middle all over design.
It's really relaxing when you figure out your path.


Happy quilting!
