11.2 – Team Colors – Challenge 2 of Project QUILTING Season 11

Hello again PQers! This is Trish, your challenge mistress, and I’m back again with a fresh, new quest for you – Project Quilting 11.2.

But first, let me count the ways I loved Notably Numeric:

1 amazing community of inspirational sewists
3 custom versions of The Twelve Days of Project Quilting that were composed and performed online (Colleen Yarnell, Ori Kemp and Katlyn Koester)
24 projects linked up via the Project QUILTING blog by Kim (and she was happy to help!)
84 instagram posts using the new season 11 hashtag – #pqseason11
134 quilts made in just one week!

The perpetual friendly reminder: please read the rules and make sure you understand them. Note that photography of your finished project must be linked at the bottom of this post in order to be eligible for prizes. Ask questions if you don’t understand something – and remember just about everything about Project QUILTING and how it began can be found on THIS page.

These challenges are meant to be inspirational and FUN! If you are feeling stressed take a minute to look back at the “Words … “ post Trish did before Season 8. It’s a classic.

For every challenge completed, we put the maker’s name in the very fancy caramel bucket as a chance to win a fabulous prize from our amazing sponsors. Be sure to check out THIS post for all the weekly prizes and to thank our awesome sponsors! The Ultimate Weekly Sponsor this week is Aurifil!

AND, all those name slips also get added for the final GRAND PRIZE drawing (after challenge six)!

But enough about that. Let’s get to work.

CHALLENGE 11.2

Team Colors

You may have heard Kim talking about sportsball in the video we made last week. You may even be prepping for your own big game viewing today – I hear there are a couple?!? Or maybe, like me, you have some other “team” you love that’s not involved in a ball-based activity. In any event, this week it’s all about TEAM.

Your project this week needs to be inspired by the official “team colors” of some organization you support.

Whether it’s the green and gold of a favored NFL team, the colors of your alma mater’s spirit banner, a brand to whom you swear allegiance, or the livery of a squad, posse, or troupe you adore – this week I want to see what colors you bleed.

There is no size limit – make it as big or little as you want.

You do not have to literally make, for example, a “Cardinals quilt” – but you must be inspired by the colors of a “team.” And I’m willing to liberally interpret the definition of team, as long as you explain your loyalty.

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 19, 2020, and posted by noon Central January 26, 2020.

Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt but must meet at least one of these requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.

Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count toward prizes. Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify.

LINK UP!

Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, January 26 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 post. This post – How to Link Up a Link Up may help you.
Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, January 26 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 HAVE FUN!
