You may have seen a few of these shared in various places. It's always fun to see one pop up on Pinterest or Instagram.
Last summer I hosted this Mystery Quilt based on a floor mat I had seen at a retreat center. It was lots of fun to see the various color combinations that quilters chose. I love seeing the different fabrics and combinations that are selected.
I'm considering something like a scrappy star overall pattern sort of like the one above. It could change a bit but this is the basic idea. My EQ7 skills are pretty basic, so I can't guarantee results just yet. But this is the general thinking at this point.
Would you be interested in doing a 'scraps from your stash' quilt along this summer? If so, send me a note or leave a comment below.
Enjoy every stitch!

I love your idea! Count me in.
ReplyDeleteI love mystery quilts and using up scraps makes me feel great I would definitely participate.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this type of star all over the internet and I think it's a really great pattern. I'm thinking my scraps would have to be blue & white & cream...
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of scraps and would be interested to join in! I love star pattens anyway! Thank you for doing this!
ReplyDeleteYes, oh yes!! I love anything star and am always on the look out for something to use up scraps. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI would participate!
ReplyDeleteI would too...as long as pieces are 2 1/2 inch or bigger. (I'm not good with tiny pieces...LOL!)
ReplyDeleteYes please!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Looks so simple with only squares & HSTs!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely yes!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up scraps, I have lots of squares and strips ready to go. Do I need another project? Not really, but I might just be doing it anyway!
ReplyDeleteYes please! I'm always trying to find ways to reduce my overflowing scrap bucket.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join in on a sewing thru my stash and scraps. It is getting harder and harder to justify new purchase with my shelves overflowing already and I have scraps galore. Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a sew-along instead of Mystery Quilt. My first (and last) mystery quilt turned into a "Oh Hell No". Since then I've always known what it was supposed to look like. I love your quilts and will be making your Sunflower! Also love the star!
ReplyDeleteDon't particularly like the huge star motif but would love to participate anyway!
ReplyDeleteI may be interested! I think all your mysteries are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteScrap quilts are my absolute favorite! :-)
ReplyDeleteHaving not finished last year's mystery (those little nine patches just would not come out the right size), I'm not sure I should join in again. Like Val, it may depend on the size of the pieces. But I like the design.

Yes please.
ReplyDeleteCount me in. I have so many UFOs, I need one that encourages me to keep up.
ReplyDeleteI think a scrappy quilt-a-lo would be a great idea and love stars.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this and I would DEFINITELY use scraps from my stash...I've been working on that for a year and maybe I would finally get 'done' with some of them! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy quilts and would love to do use my stash as it is overflowing just like everyone else's lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm in.
