Welcome to The Joyful Quilter!! And... Welcome to the wonderful world of Project QUILTING hosted by Kim Lapacek @ Persimon Dreams!! This is my 3rd year of participation in the Challenge. Trish Frankland @ QuiltChicken is the creator of the crazy challenges that participants will face during the next 10 weeks.
Sassy @ Farm Quilter got me started at the beginning of Season 11 by inviting her readers to join in the fun. I accepted her invitation and the rest is history. As I have for the past two years, I will be dragging along my friend LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color again this season, as she enjoys having a reason to stretch her creative wings. Would YOU like to join me in this creative journey, too?
FAIR WARNING: It's a wild ride, but oh SEW rewarding!
Challenges are given and start to finish you have ONE WEEK to complete your project. PQ 14.2 can be found at THIS LINK:
Many of you know I’m a geek about color. I have loved Pantone ink swatch books (#ad) since I was a child, and you can draw a direct line from there to my adult quilting obsession.
Tutorial for these baskets can be found HERE. |
Trish was kind enough to provide the following links for color inspiration:
- Palettes of four colors each with fun ways to sort and browse: Color Hunt
- The famous archive of Design Seeds.
- Combining science, history and art, this book is great either as a deep-dive read or to just dip in and out of on a whim: Secret Lives of Color.
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 15, 2023, and posted by noon Central Time January 22, 2023.
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.

It's a SHORT turnaround time!
Depending on the size and complexity of your project, that doesn't HAVE to be insurmountable. With a little creativity and a few evenings, you really CAN do this! My project was begun shortly after the prompt was announce and was finished in record time. I can't believe it was done with 4
Pink is sew not my color, either. Nice that you made it for your co-worker.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute little quilt! Nice gift for your co-worker.
ReplyDeleteFor me pink fit right in as I was doing Valentine stuff right now! I like your cute mini and I am sure your co-worked loved it too and will think of you each time she sees it.
ReplyDeleteAww, such a great gift and I love seeing the picture of the gifting. You really embraced the challenge and spread your talent.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a lovely gift to give your coworker. Just seeing you together and the smiles warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteSee what you’ve done! I played along, encouraged by you and LeeAnna. I like that little “plus” block you chose! I’m sure your co-worker will treasure it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and tiny - all the things to love! I made a 4 inch mini yesterday, to share in my Tablescraps post at the end of the week. I love that you gave this one to your co-worker, too!
ReplyDeleteYou know me, I'm no pink girl either but what you pulled is really cute. Even cuter is the gesture. What a kind spirit you have to make a farewell gift for your co-worker. You are both so cute on that selfie. Bravo, Joy! You went beyond the pink challenge. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun little quilt and a lovely gift for your co-worker! Hooray on another PQ finish!
