10.6 Craving Chocolate–Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING Season 10

March 17, 2019 by persimondreams 1 Comment

WOOT woot! It’s finals week! Time for #6 of our 6-challenge Project QUILTING series!

(BTW – this is Trish, your resident PQ challenge designer).

You DECIMATED my logophile heart with your abecedarius projects last week, but for this week I covet something different …

this is Kim popping in and the definition of logophile is … a lover of words.

Before we get to this week’s challenge, a few notes:

  • Every week you enter the challenge you are entered to win a prize 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 the Fat Quarter Shop!
  • As always, there is an additional prize for the “Viewer’s Choice” winner of the week. AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted you get one additional entry in the final season-ending GRAND PRIZE!
  • Let’s not forget we have PQCelebrity – Sherry Shish is joining in the fun!

THE CHALLENGE: PQ 10.6. Craving Chocolate

It’s one of the world’s favorite treats – and it’s a rich, luxurious color that makes a great neutral. Yes, I’m talking about chocolate!

A majority of quilters will admit to being chocoholics, and they can’t really help it. I mean, the name of the tree (Theobroma cacao) means “food of the gods.”

Here’s a bunch of fun facts about chocolate! (link: http://mentalfloss.com/article/57507/20-things-you-never-knew-about-chocolate)

And while color trends come and go, the wide-ranging shades of chocolate brown are always a good choice. It can look traditional or very sleek and modern: It’s wood, it’s leather, it’s wool and it’s all kinds of animal prints.

So take that as your inspiration this week, and dig in!

THE RULES:

  1. Whether you choose the candy or the color, your project must be inspired by chocolate.
  2. Projects need to be created during the week of the challenge (started on or after March 17, finished by March 24).
  3. 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.
  4. Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.
  5. Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, March 24 at noon CDT (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, public instagram picture, or public facebook posting
  • Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, March 24 you may email a picture and description to {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes, one hour earlier because it requires work for Kim.

Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! And don’t forget a snack.
