New Pattern - The August Quilt!

Meet the August Quilt! The PDF and paper versions of the pattern are both available in my shop and will be 20% off for the rest of the week.

This quilt began as a baby shower gift for a friend, but I knew that I wanted to make it into a pattern. There are SO MANY possibilities for this one (which you can check out when I post my pattern testers' quilts later this week) and I can't wait to see what YOU make with it.

For the past few years I have been working my way through the alphabet. Most of my patterns are named after people who have significance in my life: Alice, Betty, Carol, Debbie, Eliza, Flora, Glenda, Harper, Isabella, Julia, Katie, Linda, Libby (I ended up with 2 Ls!), Mary, Nancy, Olivia, Patti, Rachel, Sadie, Tessa, Violet, Willow, and Zola.

Since I finished out the alphabet, I decided to start over with "A" using names from my family. This quilt is named after my youngest kid (that's him on the left).

Before I continue talking about this pattern, I know that some of you saw the photo and instantly went into I-DON'T-SEW-CURVES mode. Let me reassure you for a minute: the curves in this quilt are not hard. They are gentle. They are totally do-able as a first curves project. You can do this!

The pattern lends itself really well to a rainbow or ombre fabric selection, but it can work with just about anything. Prints, solids, etc. I am working on a pink and purple version right now that I will be sharing soon :)



If you are in a rainbow-y mood and would like to make a quilt just like mine, here is a list of the solids that I used in my version. They are all Cotton Couture.
Raspberry
Bubble Gum
Petal
Blush
Peach
Mango

Turf
Sprout
Isle
Luna
Wave
Boy

I am working on some instructional videos on cutting and sewing curves that I will be posting in my Instagram stories. If you feeling a little intimidated, watch for them here sometime this week!

In the meantime, head over to the shop to pick up a copy of the pattern!
