Did you know that the vast majority of the world’s national flags feature the colors white, red, and blue (alone or in combinations)? They’re hot, and they’re cold. They’re the building blocks for most other colors.

So this week, I’m limiting you to just that: white, red, and blue. In all shades and tints, prints or solids. But no purple, black, green or the rest.

The rules:

  1. Your project should contain ONLY the colors RED, WHITE, and BLUE. It does not have to use all three, but it cannot include any additional colors.

  2. Projects need to be created during the week of the challenge (started on or after January 20, finished by January 27).

  3. Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt, but must meet at least one of these three requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.

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

  5. Link up at the bottom of THIS PAGE by Sunday, January 27 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 posting

  • Alternately, by 11am on Sunday, January 27 you may email a picture and description to {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes – that deadline is one hour earlier because it requires more work for Kim.

If you’re looking for some color inspiration, I found some great articles here that may inspire your thoughts – www.colormatters.com

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