My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
~ Forrest Gump
The name of my project I gave you a peek at is.....
....."A Box of Chocolates". When I picked the raspberries, cherries, carmel and chocolate fabrics from my stash, I knew right away what I would name this quilt. I love the lined up 3D stars looking like little chocolate bonbons. I even used a different red bead for each star.
My 'baby' brother was the closest with his guess of Whitman Sampler which is a box of assorted chocolates that we used to give my grandmother as a gift almost every year.
Since noone guessed the actual name, I placed the names of everyone who guessed in a bowl and the winner is.....
Please email me Brigitta so I can get your address and send you your gift.
I so enjoyed reading the names you guessed! I need to make lots of these quilts just so I can name them all the wonderful titles you gave me. Thanks for participating. It was fun! I do apologize if reading this post has made you rush to the cupboard to get out some chocolate. *grins*

I'm trying to catch up with 900+ lines in Google reader! Love your Chocolate quilt and so many great pics of your projects. I have neved really liked traditional yo-yo's too much but I love your folded ones with the buttons! Too cute! I'm going to search the web and see if I can find directions. Great job on everything!
Congratulations Briggitta on your wins!
I just love the little quilt...what a awesome idea and it does give me a craving for something sweet...hehe

WOW!!!! That is truly stunning, Heidi!! Wow. Wow. I'm so impressed!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm the lucky girl, I'm all smiles over here. An I love that quilt!! That really is something different. And why didn't anyone of us think of a box of chocolates?! BTW that box of chocolates looks pretty yummie too :-)
Heidi, that is wonderful! You are so imaginative!
This is a delicious quilt, Heidi! Really, I don't know how you do it: the colours, the 3-D 'chocolates', the NAME! Beautiful. Beware to hide it if I ever visit you, because I may actualyl eat it. Or sneak it in my bag and take it home with me. Sigh...
Ok, Eric should at least win a Whitman's Sampler. I love them, yum. Maybe I will buy him a box.
Have fun at the cottage. I am sorry you didn't post a picture of your furniture before you left. Boo Hoo. This is really a very cute quilt.
Love you, Mom
Perfect name, for such a lovely quilt, Heidi! And those chocolates at the top are sooo scrumptious! Congrats to Briggitta :o) Happy weekend, my friend ((HUGS))

Heidi,
Wonderful Quilt and GREAT name.
Kom voor het eerst bij je kijken, en val meteen met m'n neus in de chocoladebonbons,...
Hmmmmmmmmmm!

Prachtige quilt, en de kleuren, zijn geweldig!
HI! I just found your blog while checking out various links to the Beatrix Potter Quaker sampler.
LOVE your blog! I too love stitching and quilting as well as crochet and papercrafting. I used to do bobbin lace but my hands and eyes just decided it was too much strain for the amount of pleasure.
I am looking forward to visiting here again and often!
Wat een leuk quiltje!Het is dat je het zegt,anders was ik nooit op zijn naam gekomen!Maar nu je het zegt zie ik het opeens ook..;-)))
Mooie kleurtjes Heidi!
