The August Quilt - Pattern Testers' Versions
For this pattern I decided to mix things up a bit and share the pattern tester's quilts in their own post so they don't get buried at the bottom. I think it is so helpful to be able to see a variety of fabric choices made by different quilters to help inspire you. If you want to check out the original post for The August Quilt, click here.
I was so pleased to see the variety that they used in their fabric selection - there are solids, there are prints, and there are mixes of solids and prints. They all give the pattern its own personality - I love it!
One thing that my pattern testers shared with me on this project was that the curves were easier to piece than they had anticipated. That came from first-time curves sewers as we as quilters who are more experienced with sewing curves.
I appreciate these guys so much - if you have a minute, click over to their Instagram accounts and leave a comment letting them know how wonderful they (and their quilts) are!

Aren't they inspiring? I just adore all of them (and their quilts of course) and they make such a difference in the pattern writing process. I love the community that comes along with the quilting world and they will all participate in helping to build it.
