12.2 – Fussy Cut – Challenge 2 of Project QUILTING Season 12

January 17, 2021 by persimondreams 1 Comment

Hello all – Trish here, your PQ challenge mistress and Quiltchicken.
Quilt Chicken making a banana bag from Hungry Hippie Sews.
WOW. Just wow. I can’t believe the amazing, artistic, useful and overwhelmingly HAPPY quilts and projects created for PQ12.1. Just … wow.

But are you ready for more? I think you’re going to like this one, too!

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.
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 one of the three (1, 2, 3) GRAND PRIZES!  Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!?  Can it get much better?

Fussy Cut

The term “fussy cut” means “to target and cut in order to feature a specific motif.” In quilting, we use the term to describe the situation when you selectively use parts of a fabric’s design in a block or swatch to enhanced effect.
It’s a fun way to highlighting a favorite character in a kid quilt. You see it where a special fabric is used in the center of a pieced block. Also, it’s used to amazing effect in English paper piecing projects.
This week, I’m asking you to give that a try. Fussy cut some beloved fabrics and feature the best parts!
Check out this awesome post at Quilting Daily with the Top Ten Fussy Cutting Tips.

Rule 1:

Some part of your project must be fussy cut.

Rule 2:

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 17, 2021, and posted by noon Central January 24, 2021.

Rule 3:

Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count toward prizes.

Rule 4:

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.

Rule 5:

Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.

Rule 6:

To qualify to win prizes, link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, January 24th 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, public instagram picture, or public facebook posting.  This post – How to Link Up a Link Up may help  you.
  • Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, January 24 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.
