Hello! This is Trish, your PQ secret keeper and challenge designer, and I’m so excited to welcome you all to Project Quilting 11.1.
Before I get into the details of the challenge – a little housekeeping. Everything you need to know about how Project QUILTING began can be found on THIS page.
Also – 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 photography of your finished project must be linked at the bottom of this post in order to be eligible for prizes. (Maybe if you’re unsure about the posting this first time, don’t wait until the very last minute? THANKS!)
A note for those who have participated in the past
There will be no viewer’s choice voting this season. I went live on facebook to explain why.
I just want to remind everyone that these challenges are meant to be inspirational and FUN! If you are feeling stressed just take a minute to look back at the “Words … “ post Trish did before Season 8. It’s a classic and should be revisited every once in awhile. Every week that you enter a piece for the challenge you are entered into a hat/bucket 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 weeks and to thank our awesome sponsors! Our Ultimate Weekly Sponsor this week is Blue Bar Quilts. AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted your name will also be added into the final hat at the completion of the season for an opportunity to win the GRAND PRIZE! Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!? Can it get much better?
Challenge 11.1
Notably Numeric
You could celebrate the 50th anniversary of Sesame Street with a quilt to help a favorite tiny person enumerate, commemorate a special date or milestone birthday, or just play around with math and geometry. But this week’s challenge has to somehow notably salute numbers.
Your project must feature numbers, counting, or mathematics in its theme or implementation.
You have one week to meet the challenge. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline – that is, started on or after January 5, 2020, and posted by noon Central January 12, 2020.
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 12th 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. This post – How to Link Up a Link Up may help you.
- Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, January 12 you may email a picture and description to {lapaceksorchard@gmail.com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes – that deadline is one hour earlier because it requires more work for Kim.
Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! Don’t forget to post progress pictures because that’s part of the fun.

As a Project Quilting newbie, I am wondering if we are allowed to use free or purchased Applique patterns or does everything have to be original? Thank you.
You can use patterns, but if you do, you should credit the designer.
Eeep it’s here it’s here !!
I was looking for the Facebook Live post about the reasons for no viewer choice this year, but can’t find it. Was it Kim who was going to post it, or Trish?
here it is – https://www.facebook.com/ProjectQUILTING/videos/3257206587683631/ 😉 It was Kim!
Yay!!! This one was fun!!! Thank you!!!!!
I’ve finished my project. I’ll email if I can figure out how to link up.
