May CHALLENGE

SCRAPPY QUILTS

This month focuses on building creative confidence by letting go of perfection and trusting the process. No matched sets required. No strict rules to follow. Just your stash, your scraps, and your imagination.

Examples you can explore

Pick one — or pick your favorite traditional block.

Rainbow Scrappy Blocks

A colorful place to start. Work through every shade in your stash by arranging fabrics in a gradient or random rainbow layout. Great for practicing color balance while using up smaller cuts.

Mix and Match Half Square Triangles

A familiar block with a scrappy twist. Pull from a variety of prints and combine them freely. The randomness is the design, and the results are often more beautiful than planned.

String Quilt

Sew narrow strips of fabric together to create a rich, textured block. String quilts are perfect for using the smallest scraps and leftovers, and every block ends up looking completely different.

What Counts as Participation?

You decide how big or small your project is. This is designed to feel easy to start.

You can participate by…

Choose what fits your time, energy, and season.

  • Make one block
  • Make multiple blocks
