Chelsea - Free Quilt Pattern!

Chelsea Quilt Pattern

 

It is sew pretty!

 

It is a Free Pattern from

Blank Quilting

 

Pattern Designed by my talented friend,

Jessica J.E. Smith

 

from

 

The Quilt and Needle

 

In  March, I was lucky enough to be a tester for this pattern.

The pretty Chelsea fabrics were not available to me at that time,

so I gathered some fabrics from my stash and a nearby LQS

 

Green/Black/Gray/White Fabrics

 

I dithered awhile about choices and then thought I had them set,

but

when it came time to cut, I made one of those mistakes ... er ...

:) design opportunities :)

 

Really, I thought I had checked twice to cut once but I ended up rechecking twice to cut again with these

 

Final Choice Test Fabrics

 

I did like the results.

Here are my

 

 Blocks

 

and ... um

 

Two Layouts

 

 

Option # 1 - gray center

(this is according to the pattern)

 

... or ...

 

 

 

Option # 2 - green center

(my idea design option)

 

So you see, I still have not pieced this top and finished this quilt.

 

I really would like to get this top pieced.

 

If you would like to help me decide whether to go with

 

#1 ... gray center

or

#2 ... green center

 

Please offer an opinion.

 

Your help is much appreciated.

A New Test Quilt - WIP Wed

Fabrics for a *new* Test Pattern Quilty Adventure!

 

Today I am starting a new project. 

I will be testing a pattern for my very good friend

 

Dorian @ Ridge Top Quilts

 

I am really excited about this pattern. 

It is fun and easy to make and very striking.  The good news is that although this is a test quilt and I cannot post too many pictures right now, it will soon be a

Free Pattern

available as for a short time from Dorian

and at our quilty home away from home at

 

The Quilt and Needle

 

More details will be posted as they become available!

Sew exciting!

I have also been finishing up the swap blocks for my

 Stitchin' Sister friends ...

Both of these blocks are linked to the free patterns at
