2026 Stash Busting Quilt Along!

 

🎉 I asked, and the answer was a resounding YES—let’s sew from our stash! 🎉 I was blown away by the response to the quilt along survey—over 1,675 quilters chimed in, and the overwhelming consensus was clear: it's time for a stash-busting quilt along! I had asked for your opinion on six patterns—Board and Batten, Arrow Point Path, Check Plus, Scenic Waypoint, Sea Star, and Looking Glass - all beginner-friendly designs that work beautifully with fat quarters and scraps.  The votes are in and Board and Batten and Scenic Waypoint were the clear favorites, but Sea Star and Looking Glass were right behind and basically tied.  So, I was aiming for three patterns, but with the four being so close, Let’s include all four! That way, you can pick the pattern that best suits your fat quarters and scraps. How the quilt along will work: 🗓 Kickoff Date: Thursday, January 22nd (plenty of time to grab a pattern & pick fabrics).   ⏳ Duration: 7 weeks, wrapping up on March 12th.  I'll post schedules next week for each of the four designs to keep you on track. 🎉 Final Parade: Share your quilt top or finished quilt at the end. 🚫 No Prizes—Just Fun: This is all about using what we have & enjoying the process. 📝 Scrap Busting Posts: I'll be posting tips on fabric organization, scrap-busting ideas, and sewing techniques throughout the sew along. 🔹 The Challenge: Try to create your entire quilt—top, binding, and backing—using only fabric from your stash! No new fabric purchases needed. This is going to be a fun, low-pressure quilt along, and I’d love to have you join in! Who’s in? 🧵✨ Grab the quilt pattern(s) To join the quilt along, you’ll need a copy of Board and Batten, Scenic Waypoint, Sea Star and/or Looking Glass, whichever pattern(s) best suits your stash! 🎉 Quilt Along Special: To celebrate, all four patterns are on sale for $2.60 off each, both digital and print formats!

The pattern contains 4 sizes: baby, throw, twin, and queen. Board and Batten - Digital Board and Batten - Printed Sea Star Sea Star is one my older, but most favorite patterns.

Sea Star - Digital Sea Star - Printed Looking Glass If you are looking for a quicker finish that is super fun, then look no further than Looking Glass.
