Last fall I received the LLBean Home catalog and instantly fell in love with this quilt!
I have found a great way to make the postage stamp quilt using scraps WITHOUT sewing each little tiny square - I'm getting ready to start it sometime towards the end of February.
BUT - I thought I would check with all of you first and see if anyone is interested in a Postage Stamp Quilt Along? I would be posting the first one in late February.
This really wouldn't be as hard as it might look. I will include details to let you know exactly what you will need for whatever size you want to make. I will be making a KING size.. I know.. that's big!
If you are interested - leave a comment and let me know and I will be sure to get it rolling. This will be a great way to use up those scraps!

we know i have plenty of fabrics!
I have wanted to make a postage stamp quilt for years. Count me in!
Oh yes, I need a king size quilt! I am just a beginner - do you think I can? Just what I need, a quilt along to look forward to. Yes. Please.
Love that quilt:) I'm in.
I'm interested. I love the postage stamp quilt and would love to have an easier way to make it and use up some of my fabric as well.
Yeah I would like to as well, have been thinking about it lately and that one looks fairly easy. Good way to use up some stash.
I'd love to make a postage stamp quilt, I'm in!!!
I would love to join in and learn how to make it without individually piecing each "stamp".
Why not, would love to join in thnaks Heidi.
I started a few years ago making a one inch 5 x 5 from the scraps of each & every quilt I made. The idea was to have a quilt that was a record of my all quilts!
Shame I didn't keep it up but a have about 10 little 5" blocks already
Not that I should start another quilt, but I'm definitely interested!!!!
I'm interested as long as it's easy and I only need a full size
Always up to making something new. Let's do it. :)
Sign me up, especially for a King size! I saw an antique Postage Stamp quilt at the Mint Museum in Charlotte last summer, it was amazing and I love the look!
I'd like to give it a try. I certainly have loads of fabric that I would like to find a nice home for. Of course I really need to start another quilt too!!
Totally down. I started one earlier with some scraps but a more disciplined approach would be good. And end of February will mean all of my bee-commitments will be finished and I'll be free to finally make something for me. (I've never kept anything I've made!)
Well I love the Friday Night Sew in, and I think that is a very pretty quilt, I am in too. I will even make a King size too! ALTHOUGH I have already been saving 2" blocks to make a quilt kinda like this, but it seems like I won't need them.
What a beautiful quilt and great way to use scraps!
I'm interested in quilting along; my 2010 goals are to use scraps to make ten quilts to donate to Project Linus. I have five tops done, and lots of scraps to go! This would be a great project. I haven't signed up for the Friday Night Sew-In because my schedule is different every week and I am never sure if I can commit. But if I am free, I'll be sewing!
I,too, am an amatuer, but I am up for the challenge! Bring it on!
yes, yes, yes!! I need to bust some stash! :)

That quilt is great. Sounds like fun....count me in.
I have wanted to start one of these also for quite awhile so this is perfect.
Yes, I would love to join in!!
I want to join please...Need to use up some of the scrap around here and would love to make something just for me.
I am eager to join in the fun!! Will be a great way to use up some stash....
I love the look of this quilt. Please count me in and I LOVE to use scraps and have always wanted to try one of these quilts.
What a neat quilt. I too would like to make a postage stamp quilt. Count me in as I can't wait to use up some of my scraps.
How cool is that quilt. I'm interesed, have loads of scrap material.
Yup, I will sew along with you'all. Mentioned it on a quilting forum and several others said they may join up too.
I'd love to join in too! Our new king sized bed needs a quilt desperately and I have plenty of scraps to use up.
Oh, and I found your blog via a picture of baby shoes you made on flickr. :) I just love cloth baby shoes!
Just found out about this when I saw the button on the sidebar of another new blog I read. This sounds fun...even though I have four other quilt-alongs going. I'd love to give it a try...just because using up scraps is such a good thing, right? :)
I have been making a postage stamp quilt now for the past year
I cut and save the squares and make blocks every few weeks, before I know it in another year probably I will have a queen size postage stamp quilt
I make it 10" square block
100 squares! much easier to break it down to blocks
I actually just made one into a little quilt last month.
I posted about it too

Oh my! Just found out about this and I'm soooo in! Have always wanted to make a postage stamp quilt but have been too intimidated. Wonderful way to use up my scraps too.
I just found that catalog (again) and was thinking I could make it. I just put postage stamp quilt into Google and found you, oh my...can I be in too?
Oh God, save me from myself! I'm interested even though I know I shouldn't be. Will I ever finish it???
Hope I don't hate myself (LOL) but count me in too, please.
you know what curiosity got the cat! Sent me the info too.
For a year or so I´m collecting those squares and want to sew a Poststamp Quilt so I will definitly take part!

I'm curious about how this is put together. I love the quilt, have the scraps and might just take this on as a challenge. I'll keep watching for more info and will start digging out white and cream colored scraps.
Just read about this on another blog...my stash is mostly scraps, can I join in this one?
Deal me in, just finished one but I would like to try something new.
