Quite pretty. I usually just work on what I feel like working on, no plans at all. Unless there is a deadline - then I work on that quilt/project.

And then publish the other and during the "lull" time finish your quilting and the final touches on the medallion. Then the tester would have enough time to do a full quilttop because you release the third pattern in their sewing time.

I can't say that my whole year is "planned" -- I know what project I am doing each month as an Island Batik ambassador and the tentative schedules for blog hops but I basically take things month by month and prioritize what projects have hard deadlines, soft deadlines, and no deadlines. Each month I have my hard deadline things as my priority projects.Alison V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01083271975458964740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-16161206577997932092017-05-03T15:09:20.996+02:002017-05-03T15:09:20.996+02:00Don't worry about the excitement dissipating: ...Don't worry about the excitement dissipating: this is going to be another quilt with lasting appeal. There's something classical about it, and the modern fabrics just make it fresh and interesting. Depending on the final size of the flimsy, I would give the testers 3-4 months to finish. Why rush it, when you have another pattern up your sleeve anyway?Susan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268310893339848907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-19404248555313631442017-05-03T14:40:00.378+02:002017-05-03T14:40:00.378+02:00See, your blog is so beautiful and so dangerous fo...See, your blog is so beautiful and so dangerous for me to visit!!

Having said that, I do however have general plan as what I want to get done this year.<br />As for how much time to pattern test? Good one. Hard to say, it all depends on how how fast or slow the sewists are, whether they work full time, part time or flex time, what skill level and so forth. <br />Mayb you could ask for expressions of interst, show them the project with a ratio of where to expect applique, piecing etc. and let them decide whether they can make it until the deadline you propose. This way they go in with full knowledge of what to expect.<br />Every sewist hopefully has a feeling as to how much time they would need and whether ot not they could cope.
