Pattern Testing - Banner Year

I'm testing another pattern for Andrea @ 3rd Story Workshop.  You can find Andrea's patterns here.  This is Banner Year, and there are three sizes in the pattern.  I'm testing the twin size.

Cutting went much better after I changed the blade.  😂


I impressed myself with these perfectly matched points.
*Disclaimer:  Not all 49 blocks have perfectly matched points.  😂


Building the blocks by adding more background pieces.


The Kona colours are awesome with this polka dot print.


At this point, the background pieces go on different sides of the blocks.  I had to be careful when I was chain piecing.


Andrea has great patterns -- lots of photos and descriptions, as well as colour scheme suggestions.  Stay tuned as this quilt takes shape.
