11.3 – Put a Heart on It – Challenge 3 of Project QUILTING Season 11

Hello PQers! This is Trish and believe it or not, it’s already time once again for our bi-weekly heart-to-heart check-in.

Team Colors was so much fun last time; I adored reading about the groups with which you associate and the passions in your life. And this week we’re going to continue in that same VEIN.

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.

For every challenge completed, we put the maker’s name in as a chance to win a 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 Maywood Studio!

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

Now, are you ready to show some HEART?

CHALLENGE 11.3

Put A Heart On It

It’s the last challenge before Valentine’s Day. And whether you celebrate that or not, love is all around. Actually, when you start looking for hearts you find them everywhere – in the shape of a leaf, a rock, cracks in the sidewalk, on a puppy’s spots, an arrangement of constellations, even a blob of gum on your shoe.

This week the challenge is very, very tiny and also HUGE. Just one tiny little rule: your finished piece must have a heart somewhere on the front. It can be in the print of a fabric, in a block’s piecing, a theme you use or just something you tack on at the end. And that makes for a huge challenge – because you can do almost anything (that can be very scary!).

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.

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

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

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 February 2, 2020, and posted by noon Central February 9, 2020.
