Nine Patch–A Focus Through the Prism Challenge, October

October 29, 2015 by persimondreams 1 Comment

There are just two ‘Focus Through the Prism’ Project QUILTING Challenges left!  Can you believe it!?  Now be honest, are you still into it or are you super glad that it’s almost over?  I honestly thought I’d be tired of it by now but I’m personally loving these little 20” block challenges.   Every time I see a new creation made for the challenge I am absolutely blown away.  The creativity, skill and imagination of the quilters is fabulous!

It’s not too late to join in the Focus Through the Prism Project QUILTING fun!!!!  If you haven’t joined in on this quilting phenomenon that doesn’t mean you can’t join in now!  Order the special ROYGBIV Cherrywood Fabric Bundle needed for the challenge and let the challenge take you where it may.
Take a look back at the projects

  • June, Friendship Star
  • July, Log Cabin
  • August, Pinwheel

I know you’ve all been waiting so patiently for this moment and I thank you for all your enthusiasm!  To go over the story behind the challenge be sure to check out THIS POST and of course the FAQ post!

 

The Inspiration Block:  Nine Patch

Fullscreen capture 9292015 71656 PM
Each final project should read predominantly as one color in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or violet. You may not use the same color as you used in a previous challenge.

  • A ROYGBIV hand-dyed color bundle of fabric must be purchased from Cherrywood Fabrics.
  • You must use ONE fabric from the ROYGBIV challenge bundle in each quilt which should correspond with the color you want your quilt to ‘read’.
  • Any other fabrics from your stash may be added.
  • You must use the month’s block as your inspiration.
  • Quilts must finish 20” square.
  • Share the story behind your quilt and how the block ‘Nine Patch’ was the inspiration.
  • Your quilt must have a name.
  • Pictures of your FINISHED 20” square quilts must be LINKED UP at the bottom of this post by 11:55pm CST on Saturday, October 31st.
  • If you need me to link up for you I NEED the pictures and stories by 10:00pm CST on Saturday, October 31st.  I just cannot stay awake until midnight!
  • ‘How to link up to a Link Up’ post
    • Don’t use Instagram/Flickr/or blog?  Email me:  lapaceksorchard {at} gmail {dot} com a picture and description of your project and I’ll link up for you.
  • A 4″ quilt rod pocket will need to be added to the back of the quilt before you send it to me January.  Check out THIS tutorial for how to do this.

Other info …

    • I would still love if everyone posted to the Flickr Group as that makes making mosaics and looking over things much easier, but it is no longer required.
    • There is now a ‘Focus Through the Prism’ Facebook Group and a ‘Challenge Quilts’ Facebook Group you can join in on to share your thoughts, questions, or whatever related to quilting challenges.  You can always post progress pictures there if you want too!
    • Haven’t ordered your bundle yet?  No worries!  Order now!  You can join in on all seven or just one challenge!
    • Please use the hashtag #pqoff #focusthroughtheprism #roygbiv when posting on social networking sites to help spread the word.
    • Prizes! There will be a grand prize at the end … more details to come.  In the meantime – check out THIS POST for details about the randomly drawn prizes given out each month just for completing the challenge!
    • I made up a little block tutorial called Trellised Nine Patch as inspiration if you need some.

    This should be fun. There are soooo many blocks that are essentially 9 patches, and so very much you can do with the basic block.
