The Stardust Charity Quilt Along (and Stitch Along) with Fat Quarter Shop has officially started! This is the 12th annual Charity Quilt Along, which benefits Make-A-Wish (donate here).
On May 2, the first of two releases is available. I love that the quilt is a smaller this year (54.5" x 54.5") ... the perfect lap size!

Fun tip: This pattern will also work with a Layer Cake if you want a scrappy Stardust Quilt! The pattern requirements are not written for a layer cake, but it will work as I finished mine already and I love it :).
Supplies:
- 1 Carousel Layer Cake by Melody Miller with Ruby Star Society/Moda Fabric
- 1.75 yard Background: Carousel Mushroom Print by Melody Miller with Ruby Star Society/Moda Fabric
- 0.75 yard Binding: Carousel Mushroom Print by Melody Miller with Ruby Star Society/Moda Fabric
- 3.75 yards Backing Fabric
Tip:
For perfect half-square triangles, I recommend using the Bloc-loc half-square triangle ruler. The 6.5" size will work for release 1, but I suggest purchasing the 9.5" for both release 1 and 2 of the Stardust Quilt.
Make-A-Wish Donation:
Fat Quarter Shop releases the Stardust Quilt Pattern for free, but if you are able to donate to Make-A-Wish ... that would be amazing! Fat Quarter Shop and Moda are both so generous with additional donations of $30,000. New this year, Fat Quarter Shop is gifting the first 500 donors to donate an amount of $75 or more will receive a special limited edition Stardust Bear as a thank-you gift PLUS an additional bear will be given to a Make-A-Wish child.
Hint for my Stardust Cross Stitch Project: I'm only stitching a portion of the chart and making a little pillow.
