Trilobite Cats

Pattern testing is such fun!  This is the bright and colorful Trilobite quilt top I made while testing the Trilobite pattern designed by Becca of Brian House Quilts. She is a friend of mine I met since joining the Houston Modern Quilt Guild.

The pattern comes with instructions for different sizes (mine is a lap size throw) and also different layout options.  It features a rectangular block which made piecing with my very directional funky cat print a bit of a challenge.  But I am happy with the result.

The plan is to use it in my Toddler classroom with color-sorting activities!  But first I need to finish it with a little bit of quilting, then binding and a label.  Sounds easy and straight forward, if only I could decide on which fabric from my stash to use as its background or maybe I will piece one from my stash .... decisions, decisions, decisions!
