Stash Hash Quilt-Along

I'm excited to announce the Stash Hash Quilt-Along starting July 20th, 2020!


The first Stash Hash quilt was so fun to make.  I'm excited to make 
another one and I'd love for you to join me!  This pattern is great for using up stash and 
scraps but I also give you permission to buy new fabric if you want (wink, wink)!  
I can't wait to see it in more color schemes besides the scrappy rainbow version I made 
so start brainstorming what colors you want to do!


Here are the details for the Quilt-Along:

PATTERN: Stash Hash - available as a paper pattern or a PDF pattern 
in my Etsy shop.  Click HERE to shop.



SIGN UP: HERE  
DURATION: 13 weeks
DATE: July 20th, 2020 - October 18th, 2020
SKILL LEVEL: all
QUILT SIZE: choose between a Throw (64 1/2" x 80 1/2") or a Full (80 1/2" x 80 1/2").
The pattern also includes instructions for a Lap quilt but since that has significantly 
less blocks I am not including it in the Quilt-Along.  Of course you're welcome to make
that size but if you make it on your own there's a good chance you might finish it sooner.

SCHEDULE:
Week 1 (July 20th): Get pattern and fabric
Week 2 (July 27th): Cut fabric
Week 3 - 12 (August 3rd - October 5th): Make 2-3 blocks each week 
(specific assignments will be give on Instagram and in blog posts).
Week 13 (October 12th): Assemble quilt top

FABRIC REQUIRMENTS:

*This pattern is perfect for using up scraps & stash or leftover 5”, 10” or 2½” pre-cuts!  Note: Each Star Block requires eight assorted bright print 5” squares in the same color family.  Feel free to repeat some of the prints in each block or make multi-colored stars. You could also use an assortment of low-volume prints rather than white solid fabric as the background for extra scrappiness!

  2. I just completed my first star!! Woo hoo! Totally fun pattern, and it got my daughter excited - so she’s getting this quilt. Will you have a Facebook or instagram sharing option? I know I’m ahead of schedule, but can’t wait to see what others are doing.
