Introducing the Bloomfield tester quilts

My lovely Bloomfield testers really outdid themselves and I’m so excited to share their work with you. For a quilt designer it’s the stuff of dreams to see what others do with your patterns: the fabrics they choose, the skill they apply, and the design choices they make within their quilt. In short, suddenly seeing a pattern through someone else’s lens is a complete thrill, and it was no exception with this crew. I hope you get as much out of these creations as I did!

Three testers made the baby size (which comes in at 36″ x 36″).  A quilt of this size is the perfect place to play with pops of cheerful color and they chose the most fun palettes. Like in these juicy peaches and purples by Laura @Sewpippi (I spy some Tula Pink fabrics in there!):

Of course I can’t help but think of these as petunias in Laura M @1lousypetunia‘s pretty and cheerful pink, white, and green version:

The blooms really pop in Shayla’s version @theninepatcharmadillo  (and check out that panto!):

Last but definitely not least, this beauty (below) by Marcie @summerblossomsandq perfectly illustrates the alternate “each block is different” method also described in the pattern.  At first glance it looks scrappy but you can see that each blossom is actually a uniform print (rather than a mix of prints like in my version and Kate’s). Perfect way to showcase a treasured fat quarter bundle, and you can get a great window into Marcie’s quilt came together over in her feed!

A huge thanks again to the Bloomfield testers! They really helped make this pattern something I think you’ll find really usable + fun, and I’m super grateful for their keen eyes and insights.
