2024 Pieceful Baskets Sew Sampler Quilt Along

We’re ready to get going with this year’s Sew Sampler Box Sew Along, Pieceful Baskets, which measures 66.5″ x 86.5″ finished.

This sampler quilt draws on traditional sewing baskets for inspiration while becoming an artfully unique quilt. The placid blues and greens from Shoreline by Camille Roskelley create a sense of serenity and calm that carries over into each stitch. The Pieced Baskets Quilt Kit, fabric requirements, binder cover, and conversion PDF are available on the Sew Sampler Quilt Along page!

  1. Dear FQS: I am looking forward to the May SSB! I am guessing Albion fabric line.

  6. i am wondering if it could be Chickadee Landing. that fabric has leaves like that in it.

  7. Hi FQS, I can’t find the page for the Pieced Baskets Quilt Kit, fabric requirements, binder cover, and conversion PDF, the blog post says all are available on the Sew Sampler Quilt Along page but the link goes to the subscription page. Can you help?

    1. Go to the Sew Sampler reveal post in the blog from a few days ago to find the info.

    2. Hi Cindy!

      Everything should be linked in the reveal blog from last month, but you can always find things on the Pieceful Baskets page!

      I’ve also linked the items you mentioned specifically:

  8. Wonder if the notion might be scissors? The word May looks like the handle and blades of scissors? I agree with Albion as a fabric possibility. Looking forward to the box as usual!

  9. Whatever it is, it’s gonna be wonderful. I so look forward to those little turquoise boxes showing up each month!

  10. hmmm… the texture of the fabric has got me curious. The waiting is the hardest part 🙂

  11. My guess for the fabric is Clover & Dot by Allison Harris. Can’t wait to see! My sew sampler box is something I always look forward to!

  12. Looking forward to receiving the May Sampler. The box is always filled with fun and useful items.

  13. Hi
    I have a quick easy question, as this is my first sampler box and will be my first sampler quilt along the fabric that comes in the box is supposed to be used in the quilt along or do we need to buy fabric for the quilt along

    1. The fabric in the box will be for the included pattern, but you do of course have the option of using it for something different. You will either need to purchase the kit FQS offers for the Pieceful Baskets sewalong, purchase different fabric, or use from your stash. The fabric included in the box each month will be from random designers and fabric manufacturers and not necessarily coordinate with each other. Each month the box will have fabric, a pattern you can use with it, a notion, and the recipe card for the year-long sewalong. Hope that helps clear it up for you, they are always wonderful and fun!

    2. Hi Alexandria!

      The fabric that comes in the box is usually chosen to pair with the quilt or project pattern in that month’s box, but not for the Annual Sew Sampler Sew Along, in this year’s case Pieceful Baskets. For Pievedul Baskets we have fabric kits or you have the option to order something you prefer with the fabric requirements.

      Let me know if you have any more questions!

  14. I am horrible at trying to guess by the sneak peek, but all the fabric is gorgeous. I look forward to the box every month!

  15. I was hoping we would get fabric from Sheri & Chelsea. BUT whatever it is it will be beautiful and fun to use.

    1. Ann, we already got Quiet Grace, so I feel sure it won’t be that.

      There are just so many collections, it’s hard to look at them all. I believe it is super zoomed in. Could be Albion, but I’m not 100% on that.

  18. On another note, I hope that they will be sending out Moda, Hey Boo pretty soon! It’s so cute!!!

    1. Hi Deb!

      They started mailing out but not everyone’s always gets sent the same day. You can check the status in your Fat Quarter Shop account and update your email there too, so you’re sure to get the notices.

    1. Me too! I just started quilting in November so these boxes are great to learn of new items, fabric lines, and build a stock. So far I’ve loved each box!
