WE’RE CHANGING THE WAY QUILTERS LEARN, CREATE, AND PLAY
Quilt Scouts is a badge-based adventure for quilters who want more than just finishing projects — they want momentum, motivation, and a little magic stitched in.
Each badge marks a skill learned, a risk taken, or a milestone reached. No pressure. No perfection. Just thoughtful challenges that help you grow your confidence, try new techniques, and actually enjoy the process again.
This isn’t about checking boxes or racing to the finish line.
It’s about showing up, stitching bravely, and collecting stories along the way.
- Trying something new
- Finishing something old
- Quilting just because it feels good
common badge moments:
- Guiding beginners and seasoned quilters alike.
- Covering skills, creativity, and community
- Meeting you exactly where you are
You'll find badges:
- Perfect seams
- Gatekeeping techniques
- Racing to the finish line
they're NOT ABOUT:
- Building skills without overwhelm
- Celebrating progress, and
- Encouraging curiosity over perfection
quilt scout badges are about:
My superpower? Designing badges that help quilters rediscover their sew-jo, build confidence, and turn their quilting practice into something playful, meaningful, and momentum-building.
Quilt Scout badges are designed to guide you through your quilting journey — one skill, challenge, or creative detour at a time.
Each badge gives you a gentle nudge forward when motivation feels wobbly or inspiration runs dry. Some invite you to try a new technique. Others encourage you to slow down, finish something lingering, or simply quilt for the joy of it.
There’s no “right” way to earn a badge.
No timelines. No pressure. No perfection required.
Just curiosity, creativity, and progress that actually feels good.

why quilt scout badges work
Try something new. On purpose. Badges gently nudge you to experiment with color, fabric choices, and techniques you might not reach for on your own — no pressure, just curiosity.
my happy place!
Creativity needs room to breathe. Some badges invite you to slow down, quilt intuitively, or reconnect with why you started — because stepping away (or outside) is sometimes part of the process.
Quick finishes count.
Badges often encourage small, finishable projects that build confidence and momentum — because a quick win can be the spark that keeps you going.
Badges turn everyday quilting moments into meaningful milestones.

Quilt Scout badges meet you where you are — and invite you to try something new when you’re ready.
This That
or
Badges aren’t about choosing sides — they’re about exploring what works for you.
Quilt Scout badges turn creativity into momentum — blending nostalgia, skill-building, and joy in the best possible way.
so they say:
The Quilt Scout Badge Guidebook shares the story behind every badge — what inspired it, what it encourages, and how you can earn it in your own way.
Some badges help you build foundational skills.
Others invite creative play, community connection, or finishing what you’ve started.
And a few? They exist purely for fun (Midnight Quilters, we see you).

Inside the membership, you’ll find guidance, encouragement, and a community that celebrates every milestone, from your first badge to your fifteenth. You’ll never quilt alone, wonder what to try next, or feel stuck without a path forward.
Badges give the direction.
The community makes it meaningful.
