Geo Pop Fabric Win and Pattern Tester
Sometimes, things are just meant to be and everything just falls into place. Isn’t that just the best when that happens?!! That is the case with these Geo Pop fabrics and a new pattern soon-to-be-released called Star Cross Plaid. Becca at Pretty Piney asked for pattern testers. I raised our hands, of course, for a variety of reasons. Two of those reasons are one) because I wanted to help Becca, and two) I’ve wanted to make a Buffalo plaid-type quilt forever. I picked up my computer to shop for some possible fabric choices for this pattern and saw a “Winner” email. What?? Much to surprise and delight, Debby at Debby Kratovil Quilts told me I was a Geo Pop fabric winner. Thank you, Debby!!

Becca’s pattern could be made in so many different colorways. We thought we’d try for a slightly more boyish hue. We love our sweet girl very much, but boys need cute and ‘pretty’ things too. The seven, one-third yard pieces of fabric we won are designed by Christa Watson for Benartex. Since the Star Cross Plaid pattern uses between three and ten fat eighths/quarters, this is a total match. Six of the fabrics won fall easily into the boyish colors category. Here are the lovelies that came in the mail from Debby. We are leaning toward using five of the seven fabrics in this quilt (two stars in each fabric).

I can’t share too many details about the pattern until the full reveal on November 4th. We are making the baby-sized quilt which has a block that measures nine inches finished. The fun Plaid background pieces will be made similarly to Becca’s version using black, gray, and white solids. Thank you to Becca for letting me share her cover photo for her pattern!

Oh, lucky you, and wonderful choices. I love Debby’s site, too, and her creativity.
Congrats on the win. The star alter will look great with geopop. Btw, I can’t stop looking at your pumpkin quilt – it’s just so awesome.
What fun! And congrats on the win!!!

Geo-pop is gorgeous which makes me jealous. The fact that you won it makes me happy. Do you know how difficult it is to deal with conflicting emotions? Woman, you are driving me crazy!!! I am sure that the pattern will be fabulous and now I have to wait till Nov 4th. Oh the anticipation is killing me 🙂
Do you know Debby? She lives near me and I took a class with her earlier this year. OK, it is your turn to be jealous 😀
How fun to win that colorful fabric. That fabric will look so good in your pattern test quilt. Have a great day. Mary
That kind of sounds like a squirrel was knocking on your sewing room window;)
