I finally found a book that made sense on choosing fabrics and such a great price. This is the best place to buy quilt books. Bought this book as soon as I learned she was going to be on Simply Quilts and have made one of the quilts already. Can't wait for her second book. How to keep your quilt from being wrapped around a refrigerator after you are dead and gone is a hoot. Now to decide which quilt to make next!

Like many quilters I own a lot of quilt books but none of them are as fun and enjoyable to read as this one. The author has a light-hearted approach to quiltmaking while still giving great directions that even a new quilter can understand. This is the first quilt book I have bought where I could order quilt kits and make a quilt using the exact fabric from the book! I plan to buy one for my secret sister and my Mother. Buy this book you will not be sorry.

Love these quilt patterns. Patterns are easy to understand. The Blue and White Quilt is beautiful but quick to make. Chocolate facts are fun and very different making the book entertaining. Learned alot.

Great book. I liked this book enough to buy a second as a gift. I have made 2 quilts from the book the instructions were very easy to follow. The book is really fun to read. Yummy recipes. Not a book of all brown quilts! Can't wait for her next book.

I purchased this book specifically to make the quilt, 'La Chocolata'. Having just begun to assemble this quilt, I have found the cutting directions both incomplete and inaccurate. As an experienced quilter, I'll be able to correct the errors and figure out the size for the corner triangles, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Janet Joens Worley's Quilts For Chocolate Lovers provides chocolate-inspired quilts and recipes to accompany them. An intriguing pairing of food and quilting, the designs don't always seem to link with food, but the intent and patterns are well done and quilters will relish both the results and the chocolate-inspired focus.

The author was our guest at a Quilt Guild meeting in September and we did a project out of this book...loved the author, class and the project. Great book, well detailed.

This is a fun and new venue for quilts and Chocolate Lovers. There are so many possibilities. Why with all the beautiful fabrics both novelty and otherwise it is endless. We as quilters could go on forever.

I've been quilting for 9 years and have yet to find a book with so many mistakes. Directions have you cutting too much of some fabric and not enough of others. Then as you are piecing, again the directions are wrong; well at least the figures. Don't pay any attention to the figures as you sew, pay attention to the final pictures, at least they're right. Seems like the author and editors should have double checked the work a little better.

This quilting book (paperback format) uses basic quilting shapes (squares, triangles and some applique) so there are no new techniques. The sizes of the quilts are quite manageable (lap size which is my preference) and each project also has a chocolate recipe to go along with it. It is written with easy and complete instructions; no guessing needed. Though I have not yet tried any of the projects, they should go together fairly quickly. Personally I would make different color choices but that is what quilting is all about. Recipes could also tempt you to be indulgent.
