Just a Little Test Run....for a Bigger idea

I've had this idea for a long time, I just haven't done to much about it. Now when I have many other things (I should be doing) and multiple projects on the go....I start to fool around with it. I just grabbed a few scraps and started playing.

I am liking the black thread...something I've not quilted very much with.
I used raw edge applique for the circles....something I won't be doing for the actual project. I think I will use inset seams instead....just a little more finished looking.



These test squares or almost mini quilts can be very valuable in making some of these decisions.

  3. When we knit, we are always making swatches. I am not sure why quilters seem to rarely do it. Your tests are looking interesting, I look forward to seeing the actual project.
