15.6 – Irish Chain – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING season 15

Hello! It’s challenge Sunday again – our last one for the year – and this is Trish your challenge mistress taking over for Kim.

 

It’s safe to say we’ve had a great Project Quilting season 15, and we’re poised to finish strong with one more challenge combined with your fantastic talents. We’ve had over or close to 200 quilts posted in every single challenge, we’ve given away tons of prizes, and we bonded as a group of creative, enthusiastic makers.

 

I have simply never seen anything like the jaw-dropping awesome of our Wearables challenge. We were inundated last week with new site visitors seeking out your projects, and the fun comments and hearty encouragement is what make our Project Quilting community one of my favorite places on the internet.

 

I did the big scary thing last week (sewed for my body! Eeek!) and so did many of you – and I couldn’t be more proud of how far we’ve stretched and grown as quilters and ARTISTS this season. You all are the best inspiration I can imagine.

 

But we’re not done quite yet.

 

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 the Fat Quarter Shop! 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?

PQ 15.6 Irish Chain

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 17, 2024, and linked up by noon Central Time March 24, 2024.

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.

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

You may make more than one piece for the challenge but only ONE entry will count toward winning the prize. 

Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, March 24 at noon CT (here’s a link to time zone converter to calculate for Central Standard Time: www.thetimezoneconverter.com) If you do not link up to this post you will not qualify to win a prize.
