I am so happy to share a pattern I tested for Jen at Patterns by Jen. She released her Gradient Stars pattern on Friday and I hope you will visit her site to see the other testers quilts and check out her other patterns.
Here is my completed quilt top, I am still contemplating how I want to quilt it. John was kind enough to step outside into 100° weather and hold the quilt up for me.
One thing I did a little different from the original instructions was to cut my pieces from a strip as shown above. I was working from my stash so needed to make the best use of my fabrics since I didn't have much extra.
Pinning was important for this one, and I had to rework some of my seams to nest better but it was worth it.
My stacks ready to be sewn together.
The 15-91 works so well for piecing.
Here's a close-up of the quilt, I am so happy with how this turned out! I think that this may be one of the more intense patterns I've made so far and the results are incredible. If you have any ideas for how I could quilt this I would love to hear them.
Have a wonderful day!

This turned out beautiful! Love the little center Santa cuts. I will hope over to Jen's to check out all the different versions.
I love this sweet pillow. I'm putting it on the never ending list of projects to make. If I were rich and retired... : )
You did a great job on this quilt. It is a lovely pattern and your interpretation is wonderful. Fussy cut Santa is a great touch.
Very cool I never thought about this idea...always a table runner with my left overs..lol...happyness04431@yahoo.com

I love it, but I don't know that I have the skill for it.
SUCH a cool pattern!! I absolutely LOVE your holiday version.
That is such a gorgeous quilt!!
ILove this quilt... simple but strikingly beautiful!!
I LOVE your quilting on the string quilt. Hmmm I have the Accuquilt dies that would make that pattern pretty slick. I'll have to put that one on my back burner, but it's a beautiful way to use those triangles and kites together.
It is gorgeous. Your piecing is incredible.
