Scads of Plaid - PQ 17.2 Challenge

Hello! This is Trish, your PQ secret keeper and challenge designer. Let's get right to the second challenge!



PQ Challenge 17.2 - Scads of Plaid


When you think "plaid" what thoughts come up?

Northwoods lumberjacks? Matching Christmas jammies? Traditional tartan, or the rock and roll influence of grunge rockers and UK punks?


This week, I'd like you to explore plaid with your project - you could use actual plaid fabric, or you can make your own illusion of plaid with fabrics and form.


Interested in a little history on plaid? I found an interesting article in Smithsonian Magazine.


Rule One: use plaid prominently in your project.


Projects need to be created during the week of the challenge (started on or after January 18, finished by January 25).


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.


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 25 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 25 you may email a picture and description to {projectquilting at gmail dot com} with PROJECT QUILTING in the subject line. Yes – that deadline is one hour earlier because Kim needs some time to get it done.


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



Social Media

Since there aren't any prizes anymore one of the best things about Project QUILTING is the community we have! If you're able (and yes - I know social media isn't for everyone) be sure to join in the supportive quilting communities we've nourished over these past16 years.
