Chocolate Swirls

 I've slowly been adding the outside ring with points to my Chocolate Swirls.  Next step will be to applique them to a background. As usual, because I rarely pull all my fabrics at the start of a project,  I'm not quite sure at this point what the background will be but I'm looking through my stash. I don't think I have enough of any one fabric. Each block requires a 20 inch square so I may mix it up a bit.  The quilt will have three columns of four blocks and two columns of a red and brown stripe in between.  Most of the blocks will probably get this Dark Chocolate fabric background. 
 I was going to try to keep most of the points brown and the rest of the outer ring white or cream but I may mix that up a bit too. 
 Maybe a background or two will be red. Or not.  
And maybe a few of the blocks won't follow the brown points and white/cream outer ring theme. 

Eight more rings to go! It takes me longer to cut the pieces than to sew them together.

    I have some of that candy material too. Waiting for the "perfect" pattern to showcase it. Your swirly circles just might be the one for me too. Looking at your pictures make my mouth water! Such fun.

    Beautiful piecing! Your plan to mix it up with light and some dark outer rings is a good one and the columns of
    chocolate swirls will look fab.
    Progress!

    Delicious! Those blocks look good enough to eat! So much piecing - I don't know how you do it.

    Looks fantastic, I assume they are all pieced, or are you paper piecing?

    They all look delicious! I wish I could get a hold of some of those chocolates ~ especially since they have no calories!

    What a calorie-free treat to see all your chocolate fabrics! I've made one "chocolate" quilt, but it's definitely a great fabric inspiration for more!
