Ulla and I have been thinking and talking about this. If we would have kept to ourselves when we first agreed to challenge each other to make a quilt over the summer only using things from our stash, the finished quilts would have been the only prize we needed. But since we have opened it up for all to join us, we feel everyone who finishes should get some sort of a reward. So we put our heads together and came up with something. No, you don't get one of our quilts. But we did make a special badge saying “I Finished the Summer Stash” that you can proudly post in your own blog if you want. I'm not going to show it here, but we will be emailing it to everyone who has finished at least one quilt within the guidelines. And when they display it in their blogs.. then everyone can see.
We have been trying to keep track of everyone who is posting progress reports and who have finished their quilts. But if we have missed you, or made a mistake in a link or something, PLEASE email one of us and we will hurry to try and make it right. Since the last update, we have found these...
NOW! For ALL those who have finished. We will be sending the badge to your email address, so you can replace the old badge with the new one. And I'll be adding ** beside your name on the sidebar. If you finished a quilt and do not have the **, please let either Ulla or myself know.. we will get you a badge! We don't want to leave anyone out.
This has been so much fun. We never expected this great of enthusiasm.. and success in using our fabrics that we keep hoarding.. I mean collecting. I truly do intend on finishing my own quilt.. by the end of August!

I have been visiting all the finihses and beginnings and it was a fun ride. I feel like we have been making quilt with people all over the world. You get kind of speechless .Ulla asked if I could put my quilt into flicker, but I have never done it. I might need some help with that...
Eileen,
I just wanted to let you know that I have finally posted the project I am working on for the summer stash challenge on my blog.
Thanks so much for including me in this fun challenge,

Hi Eileen,
I wish I had found your blog earlier, I would have joined. I've saved it to check back on everyone's quilts.
Your dolls are so cute.

I was scared that I'd missed the deadline for a minute there...I'm glad you said the end of August :)
Morning Eileen, thank you and Ulla so much for this challenge. I am going to carry on trying to use up more of my stash even beyond the end of August. I NEED the drawer space for fabric daughter will bring back with her. I feel another Autumn themed quilt coming on this week once life has settled down.
Oh what fun! I've finished 3 quilts under the summer stash! I just posted Joe's Quilt that you had commented on, as well, you can see on my blog. HUGS Eileen!
oooohhh...I still have time!
We all appreciate you doing this challenge. Not only did it inspire me to get a quilt done, it got me going on other projects. Much appreication to the two of you!!!
