13.1 – All the Colors – Challenge 1 of Project QUILTING Season 13

Hello and welcome to the LUCKY #13 season of Project Quilting! We’re excited you’re here, and we hope you’re going to join in our fun for the next 12 weeks as we dive into creativity and kick-off 2022 with finished projects!

I’m Trish Frankland (aka QuiltChicken) and I’m your PQ challenge mistress. While this is Kim’s blog and Project Quilting is 100% her brainchild, she loves to be surprised each week along with everyone else – so I create the challenge themes and only send them off to her at the last minute. Please remember: it’s always supposed to be fun.

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 (#ad).   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?

Each challenge week, I’ll step in here and give you some guidelines. Sometimes the rule will require you to do something; sometimes you have to NOT do something. There will be fun themes to work with, and of course, at least one challenge is always color-based.

Actually, that’s where we’re going to start this year: COLOR! And while those of you who know me are suspecting a Pantone challenge, this year I’m ducking it. I’m radically protesting Very Peri (I swear we just did a version of that in 2016), so I’m changing things up! Surprise!

PQ13.1 – All the Colors!

For this week’s challenge I’m not limiting you to using just one or two colors – I’m requiring that instead, you revel in ALL THE COLORS! I want to see your brightest, happiest, rainbowy-est projects made in less than one week

What can you make that’s very, very colorful? Have fun with this, and don’t get jammed up counting colors or clinging to a rainbow. Just make it a lot, and most importantly: JUST MAKE IT. Do the thing, and get it done by the deadline.

Rule 1: Your project must be colorful – at least 5 colors must be present.

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 2, 2022, and posted by noon Central Time January 9, 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.

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, January 9th 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. 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 11am on Sunday, January 9th you may email a picture and description to {projectquilting@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.
