Pattern test - Mini Cooper Paper Pieced Pattern

I think I have an addiction to pattern testing. I love trying something new and trying to spot any little issues, so when Kristy Lea aka @quietplay on Instagram asked for pattern testers. I jumped at the chance! How cute is this mini cooper! At only 16" square it has lots of pieces but with Kristy's instructions it is definitely manageable if you have paper pieced before.


I found that marking the back and front of the pieces with the fabric colour to be used was very helpful especially when I used different colours to those in the picture.

This is my mini, I made the block up for the pattern test earlier in the month and finally got round to quilting it with matchstick quilting a couple of days ago. I really love the way this has been designed and found the pattern enjoyable to follow.


If you would like to have a go at making one yourself the pattern is available in Kristy's Craftsy shop along with lots of other fabulous patterns.
