Lovely quilt! I can see why you are a pattern design tester. I enjoyed the link you posted with Brenda's story!
Enjoy your awesome quilt in your cabin!

That quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. What an honor it must be to be selected to make a test quilt for a pattern designer. Just curious as to how one gets to be a test quilter for new patterns. It will look beautiful in your cabin.
Thank you for all the nice comments on the quilt.
Getting to be a tester was a little bit of divine intervention in my life. I was working at Joann’s as a cashier and since I had a very regular schedule, I tried to get to know my regulars so I could great them by name when I saw them. One of my regulars came in and needed a quick fabric she mentioned that it was for a test quilt that she had to get done by the next week and I had made a comment that I did testing for American test kitchen and it was fun to be involved in testing. A few months later when she was in again for more fabrics for another test she asked if I had any interest in testing so I gave her my info. After a few emails with Brenda, she asked me if I would like to review and test a pattern last June. I have since quit working so to spend more time with my 89 year old mother, which hasn’t worked out with the covid-19 and my chemo treatments.

Love your quilt and your avitar too!
Thank you, It was one of the first BOM on Crafty way back in 2012 when I started to do quilting. It's still a orphan block LOL.

Really pretty. I can also see it being done as a scrappy with diff color jacks and the same "chains"

Beautiful quilt and pretty fabric choices for the design. It's great to know the pattern has been tested first.
