			<description><![CDATA[I agree that the original was a delight with the strawberry blossoms on one side, the chocolate bar on the other and the resulting combo dripping in the middle. At first I thought the bottom quilted design was a computer keyboard and that threw me. But when I read that it was a chocolate bar and realized its significance to the quilt as a whole, the overall message became delicious. Hats off to the maker for a stunning design. Sad that the first judge was only looking at the chocolate bar's lines and not its significance to the quilt's message.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a beautiful work or art and I really like the humor that the designer/quilte r added in the dripping of the chocolate. She obviously took the advice of the judge and removed the chocolate bar quilting and requiltied the background. Too bad the Houton show installers weren't able to put a contrasting fabric on the curtain so the humor and artistry really showed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Beautiful quilt. The maker wrote in spanish and explained that she was told by a judge that the "chocolate bar" she quilted at the bottom did not "go" with the quilt, so she picked it out and re-quilted it. The drips don't show up because of the dark background! Here is the translation: "I can explain: It was presented for the first time in 2016 at the Sitges-Barcelon a festival. A member of the jury, per indicated that the straight lines of the chocolate tablet was not suitable for this quilt. I uncovered them and returned to Quilting the same background design. It was presented at the Birmingham Festival and there was an honorable mention of the jury. And yes, it's true. in Houston, being hung on a black curtain, it was not appreciated that the chocolate dripped out of the Quilt. It is, I believe, one of the attractions of this work. Thanks for your compliments. mfb"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Beautiful quilt, and it's so great that the maker chimed in. Her response, #6, indicates that the original quilt had the bar of chocolate at the bottom but a juror from the show suggested the straight lines from the bar of chocolate didn't fit in with the quilt so she picked them out and re-quilt it. Amazing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[And, in response to Leni Weiner's comment, It looks like the dark chocolate dripping would not show up on a dark background. I do think it's the same quilt, just altered. So Fabulous. :roll:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[After looking carefully at the stipple patterns in both versions, I'm thinking it's not a replica, but probably the artist picked out stippling and added the chocolate bar??? Just my guess. It's a wonderful quilt, with and without the chocolate bar. ;-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The dripping chocolate woldn't be visible in the first picture with the black background. So that may be the same, can't tell. But the quilting at the bottom is definitely different. The first one does not have the chocolate bar (?) at the bottom. So either it was picked out and then re-quilted, or it's another quilt of the same pattern. As for any size/distortion difference that can come merely by the camera angle and distance, so it's difficult to tell if it's the picture or the quilt that makes it look different there. Either way, I really like the quilt(s). :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It looks like some of the fabrics are even different- but the glaring difference is the different quilting under the strawberry. Sometimes quilters will make the same design more than once. The dripping chocolate does not show up at all with the dark background! Their either different versions- very similar- or the artist decided to remove quilting and change it from one to the other.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Clearly the color is slightly different in both but that could just be the photography. But look at the quilting, along the bottom one is plain and one has something there (chocolate bar? computer keyboard?) and the drips extend beyond the bottom of the quilt, whereas they end at the bottom edge on the other. Either different quilt or revisited quilt.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[puedo explicar: Fue presentada por primera vez en 2016 en el festival de Sitges-Barcelon a. Un miembro del jurado, per indico que las lineas rectas de la tableta de chocolate no era idóneo para éste quilt. Las descosí y volvi a Quilting el mismo diseño del fondo. Fue presentada en el Festival de Birmingham y alli tuvo una mención honorifica del jurado. Y si, es verdad. en Houston, al estar colgado sobre una cortina negra, no se apreciaba que el chocolate chorreara fuera del Quilt. Es, creo, uno de los atractivos de éste trabajo. Gracias por vuestros halagos. mfb]]></description>
