TESTED

Erica Jackman aka @kitchentablequilting

reached out and asked me to pattern test The Naomi

quilt pattern for her.

Of course I said YES.  I love to pattern test.

I love giving feedback and using up stash at the same time.

In my stash I found several Maritime Modern FQs by MODA.

Enough to make a baby quilt, with a few other prints and some solids.

I  cut my blocks out 'one at a time" to make sure I like the fabrics together.

I also find it helpful to use a card with the various fabrics.

or in this case fabric colors for making blocks.

A block layout design that comes with the pattern

is very helpful.  There are also coloring pages, which l didn't use.

 I sewed the blocks one at a time.

Centers were fussy cut and different for various blocks.

When I had 12 blocks I made the top.

I turned in my feedback and took pictures 

for Erica to blog about on 1/22/21(tomorrow)

when the pattern releases.

BUT my plans changed for the size.

A dear friend has been TESTED to the limit.

She had mentioned how she liked this design

when I posted pics of my FB page.

I added the borders to make it a nice lapsize.

I was too lazy to make more blocks!

I hope to visit her later in the year and this will go with me!

I had to purchase some extra fabrics, but

I found them on Etsy for $2 / yard.

WHAT?

I used up a lot of it on the backing.

So here is the top on the backing. 

I still have to cut the batting

and quilt it...not sure when that will happen!
