Urgent call for pattern testers

Due to my chronic level of disorganisation at the moment, I'm putting out an urgent call out for anyone who would like to test my Roundabout pattern for me :o)

As I mentioned on Sunday, the pattern will include the full sized lap quilt (60" square) and a mini quilt or cushion pattern. It is a paper pieced block - and I'm looking for people who would have time to make the mini quilt sized version, or even just a single block, within the next two weeks. I realise this is extremely short notice - if you'd have time to test for me you would have my undying gratitude and a free copy of the finished pattern when it is released :o)

UPDATE: Thanks SO much to everyone who has offered to test - I have enough testers now. If you'd like to go on my pattern tester list for future patterns, please let me know!

Beetle Bugs Quilt Finished!!

So this quilt has taken me a bit longer than I thought - not because it was tricky, but because I got distracted by a couple of other quilt projects. I tend to procrastinate when it comes to hand stitching binding for some reason...

Anyhoo, this is my finished Beetle Bugs quilt, using fabric from the Beetle Bugs range from Saffron Craig.

I LOVE this fabric range - the colours are superb, and I think it works really well with the dark grey, crimson and orange borders. I machine quilted it in the ditch using some fab black/red variegated thread - although in retrospect it would have looked better had I quilted away from the seam lines... but still, it looks pretty good.

I am actually writing this up for my first pattern (gasp!!) and would LOVE some pattern testers if anyone is interested? I have plans to make a girly one using the fields range from Saffron Craig as well (once I finish the other 2 quilts I have on the go!!!)
