Hey gang – it’s Trish. And it’s time again for a weekly Project QUILTING Quarantine 2020 challenge theme! It’s hard to predict too far into the future right now, so instead let’s look backward.

First, just a reminder: since there are no prizes in PQQ2020, you can decide how “perfectly” you want to play by the rules. I mean, honestly, it’s just about DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE so we don’t all go stir crazy, right? And we’ll keep doing this as long as it stays fun and relevant.

So without further delay, here’s the quarantine quest I’m issuing this week:

PQQ2020 -Q3 Vintage

This week I want you to wallow in the glory of days gone by. Remember the good days, or long for a time you never even knew.

There are a lot of ways to define “vintage” – it can mean a specific year or season (like wine), it can refer to artifacts from 20 years ago or more. Or it can simply be a feeling of nostalgia.

What’s your oldest UFO, and is it time to finish it? Or are you dreaming of a quilt that defines a time period: 1930s? Civil War? Mid-century modern?

Now’s the time to work in vintage!

There is no size limit – make it as big or little as you want.

Each piece must stand alone as DONE to count.

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 April 26, 2020, and posted by noon Central May 3, 2020.
