We told you prizes were coming. We weren't kidding.
The Butterdish Quilt Along runs May 25th through June 22nd, and the prize pool is stacked! We're talking fabric to build your stash and tools to upgrade your sewing space. Multiple winners, multiple prizes, and all you have to do is sew along with us and share your progress each week.
New here? Catch up on all the details with the schedule, how to join, and everything you need to know in the Butterdish Quilt Along announcement post.
How to Enter
Entering is simple. Each week has an Instagram prompt. Yes, you have to be on Instagram to qualify. And yes, your profile has to be public (we and the community can't see it otherwise). Each week post your progress photo on Instagram, tag @sewtopia, and use #butterdishSAL in your caption. Every weekly post you share is an entry. Miss a week? No problemo, jump back in the following week. The more weeks you participate, the more entries you rack up.
At the end of the along, post your finished quilt top for your final entry. Winners will be announced after June 30th (because sometimes sewing large seams suck and we get that).

The Prize Pool
Here's what's up for grabs. Multiple winners will be drawn. . . one per prize so your odds are good.
Sponsored by Sewtopia — Clementine Fat Quarter Bundle by Melody Miller
Amy pulled a half yard bundle of Clementine by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society from her personal archives and is splitting it into fat quarters for the prize pool. Fruity, cheerful, and absolutely worth cutting into instead of hoarding for years (no shame). This is exactly the kind of fabric that deserves to come off the shelf and become something beautiful. Amy is making her own Butterdish with Clementine and Trinketry, and we think you should too.
Sponsored by Ruby Star Society — Fat Bundle (TBA)
Our friends at Ruby Star Society are gifting a fat bundle to the prize pool, details coming soon, but if you know Ruby Star Society, you know it's going to be good. This sew along is all about building your stash with fabric worth sewing, and this prize is exactly that.
Sponsored by Oliso — Mini Iron, Carrying Case + Two Mats
One of our all-time favorite pressing tools. The Oliso mini iron is a dream for quilters and this prize includes the mini iron, a carrying case, and two mats. Whether you're at your sewing table or on the go, this setup is a serious upgrade.
Sponsored by Sewtopia — Creative Grids Large Cutting Mat 24" x 36", Rotary Cutter + Ruler of Your Choice
A fresh cutting mat, a new rotary cutter, and a Creative Grids ruler of your choice. If your current mat looks like it's been through some things, this one's for you.
Sponsored by Wonderfil — TBA
We've got one more prize in the works from our friends at Wonderfil with details coming soon. Stay tuned.
