Neso Quilt Pattern Testers Parade

 As with all my patterns, I feel it is best to get them tried and tested before release, so that they are the best they can be. The Neso quilt was no different and these are the fabulous quilts that my lovely testers made. Go check them out on Instagram and give them some love. Mx

Hi, my name is Kelly. I’m a wife, mom, and teacher in Washington State, USA. While I’ve been sewing since middle school, I started quilting in 2020. I had so much fun making Stacey’s Neso Quilt! The pattern was clearly written and came together quickly. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a quick make with little fabric waste.  I used strip piecing for the blocks- making the work even easier! My fabrics are 1 Tarrytown jelly roll from Ruby Star Society and a light gray Kona solid. You can find me @keep_it_together.quilts on Instagram

Hi, I'm Cassie! I live in Maryland, USA.  I've been making quilts for 19 years and testing patterns for 3 years. The Neso quilt is the perfect pattern for that jelly roll you've been hoarding for years! I have been trying so hard to use my stash lately and I finally had the exact fabric requirements for a throw size quilt.  I have so many jelly rolls without coordinating yardage hanging around.  To not need 2-3 yards of background fabric was such a relief.  This quilt top came together in a weekend and I was so excited about it, I quilted and bound it right away.  I think I just might need to make another one out of scraps...Great pattern Stacey, thank you!!

I'm Kersten of @quilty_kersten. From Australia. I've been  quilt making for the better part of 10 years. 
In my Neso tester quilt I used a selection of Art Gallery Fabrics that I had in my stash. Some from Twenty, Nectarine fusion, Gloria and one from Ruby Star Society First light. The Accent colour is Art Gallery Pure Solids in Cabernet. 
This Quilt was so fun and easy to make, excellent way to stash or scrap bust.

Hi I'm Lolly from Birmingham, UK. I've only been quilting for about 3 or 4 years now. I still consider myself new to quilting but becoming more and more confident in my quilting skills This is my third test quilt for Crafty Lil Mouse! 
I had so much fun stitching the Bestla and Ersa patterns. So I signed up for this one as its jelly roll friendly and I had a Christmas jelly roll to use!! It's a great pattern for a stash buster as well or a scrappy quilt!!

Hi, I am Sanne, or Sew by Sanne. I started quilting while we wereliving in Dubai, about 5 years ago and haven't stopped since. I likeall kinds of techniques, traditional piecing, foundation paperpiecing, but recently I also fell in love with EPP. I'm alsoexperimenting with hand quilting and my use of fabric. I do prefer abit more modern fabrics. I really had a lot of fun with playing withfabrics to create this ombre version of the pattern and choosing theperfect contrast colour to make the details pop.

Neso Quilt

Here is the Neso Quilt and I love this pattern! It is so beginner friendly or a quick make for a more experienced quilter. With minimum waste and no seams to match it is nice and easy to sew, especially if you use a pre cut jelly roll. Of course it's not just for pre-cuts, fabric requirements are included for if you wanted to use yardage or scraps. It would definitely be a great scrap buster pattern and I can't wait to get chance to make my own scrappy rainbow version. In the pdf pattern I have given the fabric requirements for 3 sizes but have included the cutting instructions and colouring pages for a total of 8 sizes!
