Quilt Challenge!

Ideally, everything would be from scrap or your stash, but there are no rules here!
Especially if you are going to donate your finished quilt, or make it a gift!
I just wanted to see how many of us could make one without cost, or a minimum of cost.
I expect that most will need to buy thread, or batting, or whatever for theirs and whatever you do is okay.
But for backing ideas, please take a peek at quiltville.com ! You might find something you like for yours that will be free!

Does it have to be a bed size quilt. Would 4 lap quilts qualify? Is it OK to buy batting?
I completed a lap quilt yesterday, entirely from my stash, and you can't tell anything is missing. Regarding scrap piles, I keep my scraps in one of the largest Rubermaid tubs, and it's running over.

We will do it justice.

Thats a great idea! Lets all make scrap quilts and post the pictures say next November and then donate them to soldiers or St. Judes' hospital or battered women shelter or something along those lines. I'm in! I keep every little scrap and string. Use the smallest pieces to stuff the pin cushions that I make. I love you guys!

Count me in for the stash challenge. I'm sure that my husband will say a resounding "AMEN". I'm afraid that I'll have to stop going to garage sales, though. That's where I find my best bargains. Very little of my stash was purchased at a store.

Great idea!!! Although I have only been actively quilting for a year, I keep looking at my ever-growing mountain of scraps and wondering to myself "what am I supposed to do with those?" I'm sort of a pack rat and refuse to throw out usable fabric. I'll start thinking on a pattern. What fun!!!
