Over the summer, I was able to pattern test The Alice Quilt Pattern for Erica at Kitchen Table Quilting. I was sooo behind on turning my notes in to her - I had been battling a headache and got started late and then spent the whole day sewing and still didn't manage to get done on top. I felt so horrid about it. I'm usually a last minute turner-iner, anyway, but this was completely past due.
Anyway, if I have the time and I like the pattern, I always say yes when Erica asks for testers. Her patterns are always very well written. I highly recommend them!
I made this quilt from a fat quarter bundle of Anna Maria Horner fabric that I had won quite a few years ago in a giveaway from Pink Castle fabrics (I think). The darker border fabric also came from my stash. I had to buy the lighter background fabric and I also bought a fabric to be used for binding.
You should know that this quilt is still not finished. I have to see if I have enough AMH fabric in my stash for the backing. I've already purchased a pack of Quilter's Dream Cotton Request loft batting to use for it. I want this to be a light quilt to be used for last spring/early summer napping. I also think it would be less bulky if I want to drag it along on a road trip or something of that sort.

That's pretty - the prints are awesome (especially the leopard print, lol) :) I've been to Pink Castle Fabrics in Ann Arbor - I went when I was visiting a friend near Detroit - I was so excited to get to a store that I had only online shopped at (from which I had only online shopped?) :D
