1. Do I need a big stash to participate?
No. The challenge is about using what you have, whatever the size of your stash.
2. Can I buy fabric for quilt backings?
Yes. I don’t have yards and yards of fabric for backings in my studio and I don’t expect you to, either. The goal is to be mindful about what you use and buy, not to take the joy out of quilting.
3. Can I buy a small amount of fabric if I’m missing something?
The challenge allows reasonable exceptions to help you finish a project. I’m here to encourage you, not to tell you not to buy fabric when it’s needed.
4. Can I buy fabric secondhand?
Absolutely. Thrift stores, yard sales, reuse centers, and swaps are encouraged.
5. Do I have to finish a quilt?
No. The aim is to be intentional about buying and to enjoy using your stash.
6. Do I have to join FaceBook?
You do not have to join the private FaceBook group but it will be a community of likeminded quilters and a place to ask questions. You can participate simply by receiving the monthly newsletter, following us on Instagram, or tagging us on social media.
7. What happens if I buy fabric during the challenge?
Not a darn thing. Reflect on the purchase and continue participating. I’m not here to police or judge you – I’m here to encourage you. Besides, we are all human.
