Stitch It! A Quilt Kit-Busting Challenge
with Slightly Biased Quilts

Do you have a growing collection of quilt kits that are just begging to be sewn? You’re not alone! Many quilters find themselves drawn to the beautiful fabrics and coordinated colors in pre-cut kits, but sometimes those kits end up languishing on a shelf.

Are you ready for a quilting challenge that brings back the fun of the ’90s Book It! reading program—only with fabric?
Welcome to Stitch It! 2025, a 10-week quilt-along designed to help you finally finish those quilt kits! Whether they’re already in progress or still packaged up, this challenge is for you.

How It Works

Each participant will commit to finishing three quilt kits during the 10-week Quilt It! challenge. Whether it’s piecing, quilting, or binding, this is your chance to clear out those unopened or half-finished kits and celebrate each finish. There will be prizes (TBD) along the way, and you’ll have the support of an amazing quilting community cheering you on.

Benefits of a Quilt-Along:

  • Stay motivated: Sewing alongside others can help you stay focused and on track to finish your quilt.
  • Learn new techniques: Our quilt-along will gather a variety of piecing and quilting technique resources, making it a great learning experience for quilters of all skill levels.
  • Reduce your stash: Let’s face it, we all have a tendency to collect more fabric than we can sew in a lifetime. This quilt-along is a great way to put those beautiful fabrics to good use.
  • Have fun! Quilting is a fun and rewarding hobby. Sewing along with a group can make it even more enjoyable.
 

Best of all, this quilt-along is free! And not only that, but we’re going to have giveaways! We will use the hashtags #StitchIt2025 on Instagram, along with a member Facebook group, to post our progress and cheer each other on!
