Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Quilt Block of the Month August 2023. This is the eighth block in the series, and we will have four more blocks along with an additional block that will be used in the settings I’ll share in December.

Quilt Block of the Month August 2023
August Block Details
First, I used two different backgrounds for both my small and large blocks this time. In the small block I combined the tone on tone with the daisies on white and accented with the red stripe, red leaf print, and large floral on green. My large block is quite a bit busier with the plaid on white and the multi-colored floral as backgrounds. The daisy prints in red and green and the green polka dots rounded out my fabric choices for the large block.
Additionally, the piecing this month is simple: four patches and half-square triangles are set together reminiscent of our first block in the series.

Hi, as you aware by now. Links are not working. I am finding your site really difficult to use. Tons of annoying ads popping up.
sherri McConnell says
Just added the link! Thanks so much!
Marcia says
I really look forward to the BOM, but your blog is not user friendly, very frustrating. I cannot get the finishing instructions. The link takes me to 2022. On the positive side, I purchase many of your patterns on Etsy and have done the last 4 years BOM.
Janet Sinclair says
Enjoyed your tip for making a 4 patch. Cleaver idea and great time saver. Thank you so much for your great tips and videos.
Vicki L Palmore-Hale says
Excited to continue on this journey. I LOVE your BOM and have done last years and this years. Have you decided how much additional fabric might be necessary for the setting using both the 6″ & 12″ blocks?
sherri McConnell says
Yes, that information is in last month’s (July) post. Thank you!
Margaret L. says
Thanks for the August block. It will be interesting to pick out colors. Thanks for the idea of using Charm Squares. I’ve seen the solids at my LQS and since there is an All Ohio Shop Hop will have to pick some up when out shopping local!
Debbie Rice says
Has the setting for using both sized blocks been shown? Made the blocks in some of my Christmas fabrics. Now wanting to start the blocks with the favorite things collection and it would help choosing fabric placement if I had the setting idea. Thank you. Love love all your recent collections.
sherri McConnell says
The setting is a mystery, but I did share the fabric requirements on the July post. Thanks!

I was able to bring down the August Block of the Month PDF, but ONLY Page 1printed!! I tried the July block and the same thing happened – ONLY PAGE ONE PRINTED. I printed other pages unrelated to your website with no problem. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PRINT ALL THE PAGES IN YOUR PDF’s. Only the first page prints. (I DID add the extension to Google that comes up)
sherri McConnell says
If only one page is printing, it might be your print settings. Make sure that you choose between single sided and double sided and that you are choosing to print both pages of the PDF.
Also, the Google extension is not needed for the printing.
