13.6 – Flying Geese – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING Season 13

March 13, 2022 by persimondreams 5 Comments

Wait. What? We’re to the last challenge?

I’m not ready for this. It just seems like we started! What am I supposed to do with the rest of my year? Oh yeah – just keep sewing!

 

Hi, this is Trish (aka QUILTchicken) with your sixth and final challenge for this season of Project Quilting.

 

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had more fun this year than I have in quite a while. Thanks for playing along, for having some fun with the prompts, and most of all thanks for being such an amazing, supportive community online and in real life. We love you, and we feel your love back. <3

 

Side Note about Prizes! Every week that you enter a piece for the challenge you are entered into a random drawing 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 Wisco Home Goods.   AND, if you finish the challenge in the time allotted your name will also be added into the final drawing at the completion of the season for an opportunity to win the GRAND PRIZE!  Inspiration, quilting, fun AND Prizes!?  Can it get much better?
Now let’s DO THIS!

 

PQ13.6 Flying Geese

 

We have not truly done a block challenge this year yet, so today’s the day. This time, I want you to incorporate some pieced flying goose

 elements into your project. I don’t care how many you use – but I am setting a bare minimum at 5.

 

Incorporate them into another block or use them as the feature themselves. Here are some block ideas

 

Keep them penned into rows of rectangles, or let your goslings fly free and swirl them into parabolas. I once heard Gail Garber speak, and she offers inspiration aplenty on the free-form goose formation.

 

Here’s a succinct blog post that features 5 different methods to construct flying geese. And I always love to steer you to Barbara Brackman for block history and inspiration.

 

Most of all: don’t forget to have fun!

 

Rule 1: Your project must include a minimum of 5 pieced flying geese blocks.

 

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 noon March 13th, 2022, and linked up by noon Central Time March 20th, 2022.
Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count toward prizes.
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.
If you finish more than one project that is amazing but please just link up to a single completed project.

Incomplete or unfinished does not qualify. Every challenge piece must be a FINISHED project seen through from INCEPTION to COMPLETION during the challenge timeline.
Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, March 20th 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, public instagram picture, or public facebook posting.  This post – How to Link Up a Link Up may help  you. At this time, if you choose to link up to an instagram or facebook url you will have to manually upload the picture to go with it – look at the section “upload a link” on THIS POST to see how to do this.
  • Alternately, by 11:50am on Sunday, March 20th you may email a picture and description to {projectquilting@gmail.com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line.

Good luck, and remember to HAVE FUN! Don’t forget to post progress pictures because that’s part of the fun.

SOCIAL MEDIA LINKING

  • Please use the hashtags #pqSeason13 and/or #projectquilting when posting on social networking sites to help spread the word.
    If you’d like to tag @PerisimonDreams and @QuiltChicken on instagram then we’ll for sure 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!
