11.4 – Birds in the Air – Challenge 4 of Project QUILTING Season 11

February 16, 2020 by persimondreams 3 Comments

Hello PQers! This is Trish and can you believe it’s time again for a challenge?!? We’re more than half way through the season – on the slide home now – but that doesn’t mean your creativity has to slide. I think you’ll find some fun ways to make something this 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.

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 Oliso!

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

CHALLENGE 11.4

Birds In the Air

This week we’re revisiting a traditional block: birds in the air. It’s two sizes of triangles, combined for a square block. If you’re interested in learning about its history, I recommend Barbara Brackman’s blog.

You must either use or reinterpret this traditional block at least once somewhere in this week’s project. There are a jillion tutorials and instructions online if you’d like a jumping off point, but creativity is always encouraged, too. How does this block inspire you, and what does it make you think about?

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 16, 2020, and posted by noon Central February 23, 2020.

LINK UP!

Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, February 23 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, February 23 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!

    So the block can inspire us? Or we must use at least 1 somewhere in this week’s piece?

      You must either use or reinterpret this traditional block at least once somewhere in this week’s project. As always – explain why you did what you did and it will be ok.
