11.6 – Vibrant and Vivacious – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING Season 11

March 15, 2020 by persimondreams 10 Comments

Hi all – this is Trish, your PQ challenge mistress. Can you believe – it’s already the final challenge of Season 11? And I’m telling you, it’s time for something EPIC. Pull out all the stops for me this week, okay?
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 Sweet Sweetness!

AND, all those name slips also get added for the final GRAND PRIZE drawing (after challenge six)!
~Grand Prize Package 1 ~ Grand Prize Package 2 ~

CHALLENGE 11.6

Vibrant & Vivacious

Things are a little shaky in the world right now, and we could all use a little vibrance. Some innocent wow factor. Oh hell, let’s be honest: many of us actually would love to lean on a freaking LOT of color and zing in the days to come.
So let’s use this as an opportunity for some jaw-dropping, eye-popping color. I’m asking that your project this week be bright – think crayon basics, macaw birds, fields of flowers, or the rainbow! I want to see day-glow, eye-popping combinations to create a bright today and show just how bright the future will be.
Your project must use bright colors in wild combinations.

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 March 15, 2020, and posted by noon Central March 22, 2020.

LINK UP!

Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, March 22 at noon CDT (here’s a link to time zone converter to calculate for Central Daylight 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, March 22 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!

SOCIAL MEDIA POSTING:

  • Please use the hashtags #pqSeason11 and/or #projectquilting when posting on social networking sites to spread the word.
    If you tag @PerisimonDreams and @QuiltChicken on instagram it helps ensure we see your posts!
  • Share progress pictures on Facebook, Instagram, and your blog – seeing your process and how you get to the final project is part of the fun!
  • Make sure you like Project QUILTING on Facebook.
  • We have created a ‘Challenge Quilts’ Facebook Group for you to share your thoughts, questions, and friendship on PQ and other quilting challenges. Just ask to join.

Please be sure to link up your FINAL project just below HERE. VERY IMPORTANT!  If you do not link up you cannot win a prize!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
