Paper templates for the first time in this stunning and completely different quilt pattern. A little scared at first, but it ended up being one of my favourite patterns to make.

Pattern test number 6 is bright, happy and full of love with all these hearts. Check out my Celebrate Pride Quilt pattern test.

When I first saw this pattern I immediately thought of stars in the universe. Bright colours make this feel modern and happy

Pattern test number three threw me in the deep again again with half-rectangle triangles for the first time, but the effect is stunning!

Lots of HST were called for in this pattern and I confess I wasn’t sure about the colours when I first saw them. But after it was done I knew it was the right choice!

My second pattern test saw me thrown in at the deep end with 12 colours and techniques I’ve never done before, still loved every minute of it.

The first pattern test I ever took part in and this was so much fun!

Everyone has to start somewhere, but I wish I had known a few of these things to at least save me some money!
