The Light the Way Quilt: Tester Parade
This is my favorite part of the pattern launch process…getting to work with so many amazing pattern testers! The quilt community is FULL of creativity, and it’s so fun to see how each of these testers made the Light The Way quilt their own!
Grab your favorite beverage and take your time looking at the beautiful creations these ladies have made. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and give them a follow!
Des Kuhl
I just love how these Ruby Star Society fabrics POP against this amazing black background fabric! Isn’t it so good?! Des made the travel size version and I think it’s amazing! You can find Des on Instagram here.
Abby Luchsinger
I love fall…and fall fabrics! Abby made this beautiful version and it’s available as a kit at Midlife Quilter! Abby is such a talented maker and pattern designer, too! You can find her on Instagram here.
Farrah Briggs
More fall inspired fun! Farrah mixed some Cotton and Steel and Ruby Star Society fabrics for a scrappy large throw size quilt. The look is perfect for fall! Farrah is terrific at pulling together fabrics and has the most beautiful makes on her Instagram feed. You can find her on IG here.
Joyce Ulm
Joyce pieced and quilted this beauty! And Lori from The Grey Finch Company was kind enough to make this a kit for us! You can find the kit in multiple sizes here! Joyce is also a longarm quilter and does such beautiful work! You can find her on Instagram here.
Sue-ann Tilby
There’s so much to love in Sue-ann’s version! I love the blue and the scrappiness of the stars! And look! She quilted a star in the center of each star! I love that detail SO MUCH! I love the versatility of this quilt so much and Sue-ann really made it unique! Take a look at all her work (and her fun new sewing space) on Instagram here!
Mary Burroughs-Mayer
This soft, sweet travel size version that Mary made is SO beautiful! I would love to have this one in my bag the next time I get on a plane! She used a combination of Kona and Art Gallery Solids for the quilt top and I couldn’t love the color palette more! Make sure you find her on Instagram so you can see the gorgeous backing she found for this quilt! You can find her on IG here.
Amy Adams
I love that Amy loved this pattern enough to make TWO test quilts! Aren’t they beautiful?! Soft and feminine on the left and a cooler palette of blues and greys on the right! Amy has such a great eye and is so talented. You can find Amy on Instagram here.
Hannah
What fun prints Hannah used on her travel size version! I love the Essex Linen background SO MUCH! The prints are from Windham Fabrics. I love how cheerful it all is! Hannah has some other amazing makes on her Instagram feed that you won’t want to miss. You can find her here.
Tara
Here’s another scrappy version from Tara. I love how all the star points are different! The colors are so sweet and fun, too! Make sure to check out her other makes on Instagram. You can find her here.
These versions are all so good! It’s so fun to see how each tester makes the pattern their own, isn’t it?!
I hope you found some inspiration for your own Light The Way quilt! You can find the pattern here in my shop. And if you make it, please share a photo on Instagram and tag me! I’d love to see it!
Happy Sewing,
Jen
