Hello! This is Trish, your PQ challenge designer. I was completely floored with the projects you made for Hope Springs Eternal, and I hope you’re equally inspired by this week’s challenge. 
A friendly reminder: please read through the rules – read all the way to the bottom of this post – and make sure you understand them. Feel free to ask questions, and we’ll do our best to answer quickly. Note that a photo of your finished project must be linked at the bottom of this post in order to be eligible for prizes and for the Viewer’s Choice voting next week. (Maybe if you’re unsure about the posting, don’t wait until the very last minute? THANKS!)
Every week that you enter a piece for the challenge you are entered into a hat to win one of the amazing prizes from our sponsors! Be sure to check out THIS post for all the prizes up for grabs this week and to thank our awesome sponsors! Our Ultimate Weekly Sponsor this week is Blue Bar Quilts.

Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!? Can it get much better?

CHALLENGE 10.2
Red, White, and Blue
Did you know that the vast majority of the world’s national flags feature the colors white, red, and blue (alone or in combinations)? They’re hot, and they’re cold. They’re the building blocks for most other colors.
So this week, I’m limiting you to just that: white, red, and blue. In all shades and tints, prints or solids. But no purple, black, green or the rest.
The rules:
- Your project should contain ONLY the colors RED, WHITE, and BLUE. It does not have to use all three, but it cannot include any additional colors.
- Projects need to be created during the week of the challenge (started on or after January 20, finished by January 27).
- Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt, but must meet at least one of these three requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
- Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.
- Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, January 27 at noon CST (here’s a link to time zone converter to calculate for Central Standard Time: www.thetimezoneconverter.com)
- Add to the linky the URL of your project’s blog post, instagram picture, or public facebook posting
- Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, January 27 you may email a picture and description to {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes – that deadline is one hour earlier because it requires more work for Kim.
If you’re looking for some color inspiration, I found some great articles here that may inspire your thoughts – www.colormatters.com
Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! Don’t forget to post progress pictures because that’s part of the fun.

I jnderstand that it cant include more colors than red, white, blue. Does it have to include all three colors?
Nope! Rule 1: Your project should contain ONLY the colors RED, WHITE, and BLUE. It does not have to use all three, but it cannot include any additional colors.
Thank you so much. This is a fun challenge, and the Norwegian flag is also red, white and blue.
What are the size requirements?
No size requirements.

These are all so thoughtfully done…. you HAVE to read the comments on each that gives thoughts as to why or how the project came about…. some are SO special… thanks to ALL
