    I've created a quilt pattern and instructions and I'd like to see if someone other than me can follow them and actually make the quilt. So here's my offer.

    I will send you the required fabric, including backing. And you test out the instructions and provide feedback. The quilt of course is yours to keep. All I ask is that you provide several photos that I can use for advertising purposes.

    Any takers?

    What skill level would the project require? Are there circles? Applique? Any specifics without ruining the surprise?

    I have done testing for a designer over the pond but I don't know if you want someone so far away?

    No applique. The basic block is a shall we say 'modified' nine patch. I've made one myself and I'm a novice at worst and an amateur at best. I think any difficulty would stem from my poor use of proper terminology and 'side-ways' thinking when attempting a project.

    I'm looking for two testers, maybe three, each to do a different size. The smallest project is a wall hanging version that is 27" square w/o borders.

    If you're interested, I don't mind shipping overseas.

    I would make one for you. Let me know if I can do this for you. I love to quilt, but can't buy fabric so this would be awesome!

    Thank you so much Kalena, SadieMae and QuiltingaddictUK. I'll PM each of you later today and get your contact information. I'll send you a PDF version of the pattern and I'll either let you pick color or pick them myself and hit the LQS this weekend. With any luck I'll have everything in the mail to you by next Wednesday.
