In March 2020, Homestead Fabric and Quilting wanted to help quilters stay safe, yet productive, at home during long lockdown periods. We started a Facebook group called "Homestead Stash Buster" and posted block patterns three times a week until quilters had enough blocks to make a quilt. This group is still live so check it out!
The intention was to use up our long collecting fabric stashes. Many quilters shared their blocks online and inspired others to join as well. We hope that many quilts were made as a reminder that we successfully dealt with the sorrows of quarantine.
I encouraged everyone to post their finished blocks and was so glad I did. It's fascinating to see the variety of amazing blocks from the same patterns.
Moving forward we would like to continue to encourage quilters to use up their stash and create something beautiful, we want to keep sharing more patterns with you here!
We will be taking the summer to come up with patterns that would work well with stash fabric. Stay tuned for more!
Thank you for all your support so far, I'm very excited to see everyone's creations.
