Stardust Quilt Along - It's Coming!!!

 I am so excited for the new Stardust Charity Quilt Along!!!  This is Fat Quarter Shop's 12th Charity Quilt Along and I can't wait for May 1st to get started :)    This Charity Quilt Along benefits Make a Wish, and there have been so many wonderful Wishes granted from this Quilt Along in the past, and I can't wait to see what Wishes come true this year!!!!

And not only do you help Wishes come True by quilting along . . . but you also get to make this beautiful Stardust Quilt!!!!   Isn't it just so pretty!!!    I just love it and it finishes at a great lap size, and as you can see, is beginner friendly, so we can all make a Stardust Quilt  ;)  

The Stardust Quilt Along starts on May 1st, 2024 and patterns will be released leading up to the finish of the quilt along in September.   Fat Quarter shop is encouraging a donation  for the use of the free quilt patterns.  Please give what you are able, every little bit counts towards granting a child's wish ;)   There has already been over 30,000 raised, and with Fat Quarter Shop and Moda matching those funds, it will go a long way to grant wishes!!  

If you want your Stardust Quilt to be just like the original (and don't want to wait for the fabric requirements release :)   there is a  Stardust Quilt Kit and Backing Set featuring Summertime Fabrics by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics.   The kit comes with all the fabrics you need for the blocks, background and binding and it even comes with a bonus cloth bag.   And one other bonus . . . The Kit comes with all of the patterns so you don't have to wait each month for them to be released, and yes, it's the only place to get them early ;)    

     

 

But you can always branch out and choose your own fabrics as well ;)   I loved the bold rich colors of my Backgammon Quilt so much, I decided to use the same fabrics for my Starbust Quilt!!   So I will be using Sagewood Fabrics by Crystal Manning and one of my new favorites for the background, Grunge Vanilla!!  It is going to be so fun.   And if you can tell by the number of prints I have, I am going for a little more scrappy look :)  

  

So will you be joining in and quilting along for a great cause??  You still have lots of time to get ready and it's going to be so much fun!!! Pop on over to the Stardust Quilt Along Page for all the details and easy access links for the pattern releases :)  And another little bonus, the first 500 donors to donate an amount of $75 or more will receive a special Stardust Bear as a thank you gift!!  Isn't he so cute with those little stars embroidered on his paws!!  

   

I can't wait for some Happy Charity Quilting starting soon and I hope you will be joining in with me for the quilt along fun!!!!
