Are you guys ready to get this party started!?
I'm so excited the day is finally here!
It's week 1 of the Stash Hash Quilt-Along and the assignment for this week is to gather
the pattern and fabrics you plan to use. I'm making a Christmas version because I have some
really fun Christmas 10" squares I received in a swap I participated in a year or so ago.
As I've said before, Stash Hash is a great stash buster quilt
AND it's perfect for pre-cuts! It requires 5" squares, 2 1/2" squares and some
2 1/2" rectangles so the 10" squares will give me what I need.
I'm excited to finally put those swap squares to good use!
For my background fabric, I am using the cream fabric that has little
tan asterisks on it. It's from the fabric line Christmas Figs II by Fig Tree & Co.
I think it will add a nice contrast to my Christmas fabrics.
So that's it for this week! We're starting things off nice and easy!
Will you do me a favor and post a picture on Instagram showing me your fabrics?!?
Be sure to tag me @gigis_thimble and use the hashtags
#gigisthimblepattern, #stashhashquilt and #stashhashqal.
I can't wait to see (and I think others will enjoy seeing them too)!
If you're not on Instagram, just leave a comment below telling me your plan.
I'm dying to hear it!
Also, I have one question for you -
can you tell me in the comment section below whether or not you would like
to continue to receive the weekly QAL emails? I was thinking...all of the info will be in the
blog posts. The emails will just be reminders to check out the blog posts.
So instead of clogging up your inboxes and making one more step for myself I thought
if you just planned on coming here each Monday morning (or whenever you can each week)
that might be better for all of us! But I am happy to do it if you prefer the reminders.
Vote below with your preference and I'll do what the majority prefers. Thanks guys!
If this is the first time you've heard about the Stash Hash Quilt-Along it's not too late to join.
Happy fabric pulling!
