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

You could also use an assortment of low-volume prints rather than white solid fabric as the background for extra scrappiness!
