Every year, I get tons of questions about what you can make with scraps from your stash. The FREE Star Climber Scrap Quilt is a dazzling way to use those leftovers from your quilt projects! Keep reading to learn all about this quilt and my plans for sewing it in 2025.
This year marks the sixth year of scrap quilt challenges! I love seeing you join in on the scrappy fun each year, and your Enchanted Stars Quilts from this year have been so inspiring to look through. If you haven’t shared yours yet, be sure to use the hashtag #FQSEnchantedStarsQuilt and tag us so I can see them! Now, it’s time to prep for what I’ll be doing with my scraps in 2025.
My Enchanted Stars Quilt Blocks from 2024 feature many collections I used for my quilt projects during the year. You might recognize some from our quilt alongs!
My 2025 Star Climber Scrap Quilt
For 2025, I will be using the FREE Star Climber Scrap Quilt for my scrap quilting challenge. Making a scrap quilt is not only a great way to make the most of your stash, it’s a great sentimental piece to have too! I love being able to look at all the different blocks and be reminded of all the quilts I made for family, friends, and with all of you during that year’s quilt alongs.
Star Climber Supplies
The finished quilt is available in two sizes, the Tabletopper, which finishes at 39.5″ x 39.5″, and the Lap, which finishes at 58.5″ x 58.5″. This year’s pattern is written for foundation paper piecing. Here are the supplies I’m grabbing to make mine:
- FREE Star Climber Scrap Quilt Downloadable PDF Pattern by Fat Quarter Shop
- Foundation Paper:
- For the Lap Quilt
- One pad of 6″ Woven Star Quilt Block Foundation Paper by It’s Sew Emma
- One pad of 6″ Courthouse Steps Quilt Block Foundation Paper by It’s Sew Emma
- For the Tabletopper
- One pad of 4″ Woven Star Quilt Block Foundation Paper by It’s Sew Emma
- One pad of 4″ Courthouse Steps Quilt Block Foundation Paper by It’s Sew Emma
- For the Lap Quilt
- Kimberly’s Foundation Paper Piecing Starter Kit
For the fabric, I’m starting off with the Background Bee Bundle and the Colors Bee Bundle, which are both Fat Quarter Shop exclusive fat quarter bundles from Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs. My stash of Lori fabrics is well stocked from previous projects and the Lori Holt Fat Quarter Club, so I will also be pulling some scraps from there to round it out!
In 2025, I’ll be sewing with the scraps from my other planned quilts and sew alongs throughout the year. I’ll share updates on the Fat Quarter Shop YouTube Channel in my sewing progress livestreams as I go. I would love to see you join me in sewing up your scraps this year! I’ll share my progress on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #FQSStarClimberQuilt, and I hope you will, too!
Happy Quilting!

I am not a fan of foundation paper. Is this a quilt that is NON FP friendly? Thank you!
I also am not a fan of foundation paper. Can this also be a normal pattern with measurements. I’d love to do it.
Huge fan of foundation paper piecing. Knee deep in dragonfruit now. Great quilt idea
I am excited to try this. I actually have a pad of the court step block paper, but haven’t tried it yet.
Love love love this! Foundation paper piecing is so satisfying. Thank you so much for this free pattern.
Have printed off the instructions and scraps have plenty, but would rather not go the foundation paper, so would there be instructions for the blocks without the paper foundation way? Thank you
