<br />
We think it goes without saying that every year, we continue to be blown away by the creativity you all bring to this little competition. Once Becca at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a> and I got the linky party live (after a, err, slightly rocky start), we were both pretty giddy as the entries started pouring in. SO. MUCH. TALENT.<br />

Funny story. While the judges were ultimately able to narrow down their picks, THE VIEWERS (in two instances) WERE NOT! That's right peeps. This year we have a record TWO dead ties in the Viewer's Choice category. Serendipitously, one of two (again, in each instance) aligned with the judges' selections, so in the interest of fairness we will be sending the prize to the quilt that had not already won an award. But you know, because Viewers' Choice is kind of a big deal, prize or not, we wanted to acknowledge both.<br />

<br />
Sorry for the delay, peeps. <i>Short story:</i> You can link up here or at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a>. (The linky runs on both blogs, so it doesn’t matter where you link up—your entry will appear both places once you do!) <i>Long story:</i> We've encountered a bit of a technological curveball. The trusty link-up system we've used for years underwent some changes effective April 1, and from what we can tell no longer offers the voting option. (!) While we're working on how to manage that (democratically) given our long-loved Viewer's Choice award, you can still go ahead and link your makes for the contest from now until June 14 at 11:59pm EST. <br />
<br />
EDITED TO ADD: Fixed! (We hope!)<br />

In the interest of keeping things open to everyone (from everywhere), here’s what we came up with. <b>Thanks in advance for understanding.</b>
Okay, here goes: we’re asking our judges to pick their top U.S. <i>and</i> global (non-U.S.) pick (TWO #1s!). That means regardless of where you live, you can enter in any category and be eligible for the respective prize at the 1st level (U.S. <u>or</u> Global), and <i>any</i> prize at the 2nd and Viewer’s Choice levels. Mmmmk? Phew! Now, on to the prizes from our kind, generous sponsors.<br />

<u>Door Prizes</u></h2>
Finally, we would really (really) love to see an entry from absolutely everyone who feels the slightest bit inspired by Living Coral, regardless of skill level, so several entries that haven’t already won a prize will be drawn at random for one of our <strong>“door prizes” </strong>— brought to you by your hosts, judges, and more! *wink!*
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<strong>ENTRIES:</strong></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Entries are open NOW and will close on June 14 at 11:59pm EST.</strong> The link up tool (below) should tell you how much time the link-up has to run. Winners announced the following week (or thereabouts). The link party/gallery will be hosted at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a> and <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/">no hats in the house</a>, but you only have to enter at one site (assuming it all goes smoothly, it’s all the same thing).</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>Each entry should link to a blog post, Flickr page, or Instagram post.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>Each entry should include <i>THREE THINGS (in addition to your photo, duh!)</i>: <b>(1) </b><strong>project title; (2) quilt dimensions; and (3) </strong><strong>your country of residence. </strong>(All this helps us ensure the quilt has been submitted in the proper category.)</li>
</ol>
<br />
<ol start="3">
</ol>
<h3>
Link Up Trouble Shooting</h3>
If you haven’t used a link-up tool before, Katy from The Littlest Thistle explains everything you need to know <a href="http://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/2014/10/finish-along-quarter-3-tutorial-week_1.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
If you’re planning to use Instagram to link up, Katy has another great post explaining that process (<a href="http://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/2015/01/finish-along-quarter-4-tutorial-week_3.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>). If you’re working from a phone or tablet, check out Rhonda’s tutorial on how to link from Instagram (<a href="http://www.quilterinthegap.com/2014/12/finish-a-long-ig-a-simple-tutorial/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>).
Please pay attention to the different categories to make sure your entry winds up in the right place! But don’t worry—if you make a mistake, the link program will allow you to delete your own links and re-submit in the proper category.
*Drumroll please!*
So without further ado… the linkies!
*keep drumming*

<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">We thought it would be fun to provide a place for people to share quilts that feature Living Coral but don’t necessarily comply with all the challenge rules—e.g., because they were not finished in 2019—or, perhaps, because the makers would rather share them in a non-judged forum. We will be providing a separate link-up for people to share these quilts. However, outside of random winners selected for door prizes, they will not be eligible for judging, voting, or to win other prizes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Hello friends! The past few weeks I've been totally thrilled to share the adventures (virtual) book tour over on Instagram, and today, I am so excited to share this round-up post with you here! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At the risk of sounding like a broken record... </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">the book is my attempt to touch on each stage of my FPP process—from piecing technique to pattern design—in three sequential parts.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> The tour tracks the book from beginning to end, starting with Plant Lady (Parts I and II, </span><span style="background-color: white;">which cover everything you need to start sewing on paper (Part I) and designing your own patterns (Part II)), all the way through the seven design prompts (Part III... aka where the adventure begins!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Part III is workbook-style, divided into 7 design prompt/project pairings to get your creative juices flowing:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The brief design directives are brought to life with gorgeous collage images (photographed by </span><a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/ericlubrick/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">@ericlubrick</a><span style="background-color: white;"> and styled by </span><a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/annamarisa/" style="border: 0px; color: #003569; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">@annamarisa</a><span style="background-color: white;">) intended to spark design inspiration of your own. The projects (my “takes” on each prompt) are more of what you might expect from a traditional craft book—project instructions complete with patterns to make the book sample. </span></span></div>

You know that @nohatsquilts is dear to me. Head to my blog for details of the project I’m working on from her book. For a chance to win a copy of Sarah’s book and a fat quarter bundle similar to the fabrics I’ve chosen for my quilt, follow me @crimsontate (@heathergivans) and @nohatsquilts, and leave a comment below telling me about your favorite plants.

That’s always been my thing. Not so much drawing intricate stand-alone figures as sketching new shapes within geometric bounds. For me, #graffitiFPP is essentially a natural extension of that practice. It’s my handwriting. After designing a block, I’ll start layering additional details to help round out a design and bring the main figure to the forefront through a series of freehand elements. Or, as my friend @littleislandquilting so eloquently put it, “artistic randomness.” 🎨👩🏻🎨🤓 The 📖 includes a brief overview, including a sampling of motifs to spice things up. I’ve found, over time, that I have a core group of go-to graffiti: geese, spikes, stripes and stars, for starters. But the possibilities should, in theory, be endless! So, for a little challenge, tell me, what motifs do *you* want to see in a future #graffitiFPP design? G📖I🧵V📖E🧵A📖W🧵A📖Y Like this post and comment below for a chance to adlib your own graffiti in a supersized 🐙 Septopus 🦑 from #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign.... <<read: WIN A SIGNED COPY>> *PLUS* a chance to win three neutral spools of @wonderfilspecialtythread’s #decobob (swipe!) to keep all those layers trim and tidy when you stitch up your masterpiece! If you haven’t yet tried it, you’ll be amazed by how well it handles (and flattens) overlapping seams. 🖤 Giveaway will stay open through January 28th. 🖤 #adventuresbooktour 📖🧵📖🧵📖🧵📖 #creativewithasideofcrazy</a></span></div>

Super excited that today is my day on the #adventuresbooktour. @nohatsquilts’ #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign is a remarkable book. Sarah has not only designed an eclectic and thoughtful collection of quilts, but in the book she also gives you the tools and skills to design your own #foundationpaperpiecing patterns. I can’t say enough good things about this incredible book. The generosity of not only sharing your patterns with the world but also the skills in which to create your own designs is just incredible. I have long loved Sarah’s work so to be able to get a look inside her process is beyond exciting. Being on this tour has presented me with an opportunity that I have waited for for such a long time. Do you have a quilt idea that has been floating about in your mind for what feels like forever? With what I learned from the Learning by the Letter portion of Sarah’s book I am finally able to bring a quilt idea I have had for years to life. I’ve never found the right letter pattern to write this phrase I’ve had in my head for so long. So I am designing my own with the help of Sarah’s book. I am having such a good time working on this project. I can’t wait to start sewing the letters next week! And now a GIVEAWAY (be sure to read all the rules)! Wanna win a copy of #adventuresinpp, a big ol’ #quantumbygg scrap bag, plus some other secret goodies compliments of yours truly? Just follow me and follow @nohatsquilts, like this video, tag a friend below, and that’s it! Tag as many friends as you would like in separate comments. Internationals entries welcome! I’ll draw a winner in my stories Saturday morning. Be sure to tell your friends and good luck! • • • @daylightcompanyusa #daylightcompany #daylightcompanylightbox #studio #sew #sewing #quilt #quilting #design #diy</a></span></div>

Thank you! I’m always a day late and a dollar short. In my defense I had a work conference this week and a live bat 🦇 showed up in my shower at home. It’s been a thing. But I really wanted to come home and play with my version of @nohatsquilts’ Prickly Path. And after some marathon stitching, I’ve got it together. The original #pricklypathquilt in the new Adventures in Paper Piecing book is gorgeous. Beautiful Alison Glass fabrics with a crisp white background. So I wanted to flip the focus. I used a favorite @gertrudemade giant floral as the background and made the arcs scrappy neutrals. I think it looks like giant lace on top of the floral. I did eight blocks to make four block wide bed runner. At 84” long, I think it’s perfect. But I also love it so that I want to do more with it...hmmm the paper piecing possibilities! And because I don’t want to Bogart all the creative goodies in Sarah’s book, there’s a giveaway. Yay prizes! All you have to do to win a copy of Sarah’s book is to follow me @eyecandyquilts and @nohatsquilts, and leave a comment below telling me what colors you’d like to make your Prickly Path. Tag as many friends as you’d like for additional chances to win – open internationally until January 19. #🍑 #adventuresbooktour #nohatsquilts #eyecandyquilts</a></span></span></div>

Sarah Sharp of @nohatsquilts created this beautiful Prickly Path quilt using fabrics from a number of my fabric collections for her book, Adventures in Paper Piecing & Design. I love this quilt and I am so happy to get to share it today as part of Sarah’s book tour. The book is filled with lovely photographs, it covers a range of information including the basics of foundation paper piecing through tips and exercises to help you create your own paper pieced projects. Paper piecing is a great method for creating shapes not easily achievable with traditional patchwork. It’s one of my favorite techniques. I’m a long time fan of Sarah and her style! And @angelafmq quilted it, so that’s rad. GIVEAWAY: Sarah is providing a signed copy of her book and I will add in a surprise fabric bundle reminiscent of the fabric in Prickly Path - that means there will be some OOP and hard to find pieces in there. To enter, just post a nice comment and tag a friend who you think might enjoy Sarah’s book. We will pick a random winner next Saturday, January 19, 2019. - Alison Congratulations @taylormadecreates - you are our winner! #adventuresinpp #alisonglass #andoverfabrics #adventuresbooktour #nohatsquilts #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign</a></span></div>

I’m officially down as coming up with an ‘object.’ After a couple of false starts (Penhill Dark Monarch dahlia, page 19 of the current Sarah Raven catalogue 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️) I kept coming back to the simplicity of the pp trees you’ll find in Sarah’s feed, plus the idea of the fish. And then I had a lightbulb moment as to how I could combine the elements. A DEAD FISH.🐠🐟🐡 Why has no one ever thought of that before? And who doesn’t need a Dead Pink Fish Pouch in their lives? 🙄 Regard the book as a comprehensive and detailed break down of not only how to paper piece the patterns provided but also a blueprint to go off piste and make whatever you fancy. It’s also got my name in it as I provided one of the fish in the Folksy Friends quilt on page 78. It’ll be easy to spot: it’s the orange one. If those aren’t reasons in their own rights to get the book, you can also leave a comment here/tag a friend/do whatever you feel comfortable with and a winner drawn on Friday will receive a signed (by Sarah sadly, not me 🙄) copy of the book. I’m not a huge blower of smoke up people’s rear ends but I do have to say the amount of attention to detail and info packed in to the book (and the fact it’s got my name in it) is worth the purchase. I am a mahoosive admirer of those who follow their own creative path and this book is evidence of it. Well done. 👏🏻👏🏻 #adventuresbooktour #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #nowimgoingtobelateforwork #iloveyousarah 😘</a></span></div>

Giveaway below! I'm super excited that it's my turn on the #adventuresbooktour as I genuinely love this book by @nohatsquilts. Read on for the giveaway! . One thing i love about this book is it's not just patterns but walks through how to make your own designs in a lot of depth. For me, I found the book helpful because I've made paper piecing patterns for years, but a lot of it was based on intuition. This book described what I'd been doing all this time and gave me the power to use those skills more intentionally and effectively. And on a personal note, Sarah is a lovely person and friend and we've been sharing our life goals since our first fateful meeting and accidentally romantic walk on the beach on Valentine's day. 🤣 So I'm ecstatic for her that she's brought this phenomenal book to life. 💖💖 . For the hop, I chose #designprompt4 "creatures" and I'm sure it'll surprise no one that I decided it was time to tackle the #technicolormenagerie fox. I've gotten as far as the ear and trying to simplify as I go (swipe to see how I'm breaking it down so far). Y'all, I'm gonna need more letters in the alphabet. I'm at G and I've only done the left ear. 🤣🤣 so it may be a bit before this is finished. If you've managed to read this far, your reward is a chance at a GIVEAWAY! For a chance to win a signed copy of Sarah's book, follow me @playcrafts and Sarah @nohatsquilts , and leave a comment below telling me which animal you'd like to see a paper piecing pattern for the most. Tag as many friends as you'd like for additional chances to win - open INTERNATIONALLY until my birthday, 1/20 . #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #adventuresinpp</a></span></div>

So when the opportunity to be a part of her book tour came along I was super happy to jump on board! Her new book is seriously incredible and if you haven’t tried paper piecing or want to create your own pattern she’s got you covered! Meet #folksyfriendsquilt - I dyed the indigo for my fish and am super happy with how he turned out. I’ll add him to my dads quilt (yeah I gotta get back to that!). Now for a giveaway!!! For a chance to win a copy of Sarah’s book follow me @raquelsews and @nohatsquilts, and leave a comment below telling me what WIP you need to get done this year (mine is this folksy fish quilt for my dad). Tag as many friends as you’d like for additional chances to win – open internationally until January 20th 11:59pm PST. #adventuresbooktour #bernina #berninausa</a></span></span></div>

Most people know how much I love paper piecing… it is how my quilting adventure started and is my go to technique still. Over the years I have used hundreds of different paper piecing patterns but none of them made me more excited than when I started making Sarah’s Folksy Fish. Sarah designs patterns that are not your average paper piecing pattern. She brings to her designs a wonderful sense of freedom and fun. They are playful and modern but leave you room to add your own touches if you want. They are perfection… and really are a reflection of their designer who is fun, a little quirky and so kind. I was so excited when I finally got a copy of her wonderful book in my hands. Not only does it add some more fish to my collection, but it has the most wonderful collection of patterns including my new obsession House Plants. The icing on the cake is that the book is a tool to help you design your own paper piecing patterns if you so inclined. Sarah takes you step by step through the process making what can seem daunting really easy. . So for the book tour I was challenged to design my own paper piecing pattern using a shape other than a square. After much deliberation I settled on using a triangle template… turning it upside down I played with a heart shape pattern. So far so good…. but then I had to add sides to my heart and viola I am back at a square. I totally and utterly failed to think outside the box….but I did have a blast using the grafetti layouts that are in the book to make some fun hearts. I am not sure what this says about me as a person - does it show I can not follow simple instructions or maybe it means that I really like squares! . If you would like to win your very own signed copy of Adventures in Paper Piecing follow me @wombatquilts and @nohatsquilts, and leave a comment below telling me what your graffiti tag name would be . Tag as many friends as you’d like for additional chances to win – open internationally until Monday the 21st of January. #adventuresbooktour #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign</a></span></div>

GIVEAWAY AND SPOILER ALERT. If you like giveaways and paper piecing and all the cool things @nohatsquilts does, read on. If you are one of my son's teachers, stop here. All will be revealed at a later date. 😉 I'm today's stop on Sarah Sharp's blog tour highlighting the Fireflies project in her fab new book, Adventures in Paper Piecing. For the full story, please go visit my blog post (linktree in profile) then come back here to enter. For the highlights swipe away but I've got to say, this pillow has a really cool feature hidden in the quilting (which was absolutely inspired by the incomparable @rachaeldorr). I kinda can't stand it, I love it so much. For a chance to win a signed copy of Sarah's book and some gear compliments of @renecreates to take on your adventure, make sure to follow me @cera.bee and Sarah @nohatsquilts and tell me your favorite insect in the comments. Tag as many friends as you want for additional chances. Open to international friends as well. Drawing will close and winner will be notified on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019. ✨ #adventuresbooktour #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #adventuresinpp #paperpiecing #modernquilting #firefliesquilt #fireflies #lightningbugs #quiltedpillow #quiltyfriendsrock #makeitcoats</a></span></span></div>

As you can see, Sarah’s designs are just so detailed and incredible. I want to make them all! 💚 But this so much more than just a pattern book. Sarah takes you step by step through the process, from having a seed of a design idea, or finding design inspiration, to designing a block from images or sketches. There’s a series of exercises, devised to get increasingly more challenging, to get you more and more confident with the design process. 💚 To say this book is comprehensive is an understatement; Sarah leaves no aspect of the process unturned, and I love her happy conversational tone and anecdotes as she guides you through. This really isn’t just a pattern book (although the patterns are Incredible 💕) it’s SO much more. For anyone who loves FPP this is the book for you if you want to sharpen your skills and take that next step and come up with your own designs. 💚 I really am in awe of Sarah’s talent and I for one have certainly learnt so much from this fabulous book! . . . #sarahashfordstudio #sundayreview #sarahssundayreview #paperpiecing #fpp #foundationpaperpiecing #modernquilting #bookreview #quiltingbook #nohatsquilts #design #patterndesign #quiltdesign</a></b></span></span></div>

I used Sarah's prompts to create this adorable little village as a repeating paper pieced pattern. As I told Sarah, I see your complicated busy paper piecing patterns and raise you this one! Sure I could have left some negative space and made this easier to piece but....nah. This is more fun. Visit my blog (link in profile) to see more about the process to create this fun pattern. Giveaway: for a chance to win a copy of Sarah's book, follow me @allisonsews and Sarah @nohatsquilts and leave a comment telling me something you're hoping to learn from the book. Tag up to 3 friends in separate comments for additional chances. Winner will be chosen on Sat 1/26. #adventuresinpp #adventuresbooktour #paperpieceallthethings #urbanvillagequilt</a></span></div>

Eek my turn on the book tour! I have to say the #jungleviewquilt chose me . Since moving north I see a tropical landscape every day and the Monstera is a common motif. Being paper pieced was a bonus. I’m a big fan, I like the accuracy but most of all it justifies my stash of the tiniest of scraps! But if tiny piecing is not your thing it’s also fun to enlarge Sarah’s templates. #jungleviewquilt ‘s role in the book is to illustrate how to design a pattern repeat. Constructing the quilt I learnt how and had a go myself at both a half drop and a simple repeat ( I may have been influenced by the Escher exhibit !) if you want to try it yourself for a chance to win Sarah’s book follow me and @nohatsquilts and leave a comment below - what do you like ( or dislike) about paper piecing? . Tag as many friends as you’d like. Open internationally until 30 Jan. Good Luck #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #adventuresbooktour</a></span></span></div>

I’m in a book from @nohatsquilts!!! I feel so flattered! And she’s even letting me give one away too (plus I’m throwing in a free digital copy of my #luminaryquilt pattern for the winner as well!) I’ll tell you how to win below. ETA: contest is now over, congrats to @blongfield who is the winner!!!! . Here’s how it all happened. . I LOVE itty bitty tiny little #miniminiquilts. But if you’ve ever tried to make one, you know how hard it is to match up seams when your pieces are miniscule. . Paper piecing helped… but some designs simply don’t work with the traditional #foundationpaperpiecing techniques, such as a simple nine-patch. You still would need to match up tiny sections. . But then I discovered #singlepaperpiecing and everything changed. And today I want to share how easy it is and how it can transform your quilting. . It doesn’t have to be hard, and you don’t need anything fancy. In fact, you just need some grid paper and you’re good to go. . @nohatsquilts explains all about it in her new book along with TONS of other great paper piecing tips (and I’m so flattered for the mention). But I’ve also put a full tutorial on how to do this in the highlights on my profile right now if you want to check it out (swipe the photos to the side to see how to find this). . So how do you get your hands on a free copy of this book and a copy of my Luminary Quilt pattern? Follow both me @jamiemswansonquilts and @nohatsquilts, and leave a comment below telling me who your favorite quilt or fabric designer is. You can also tag as many friends as you’d like for additional chances to win – open internationally until this Saturday, 1/26/19 at noon CST. #adventuresbooktour #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #adventuresinPP #rainbowquilts #rainbowismyfavoritecolor #alisonglass #sewsmaller #fpp #singlefoundationpaperpiecing #singlefpp #tinyquilts #miniquilts #robinsonquilt For full rules and regulations about the giveaway, please contact @nohatsquilts</a></span></div>

(Read on for a GIVEAWAY!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve loved Sarah’s gemstone double weddings ring quilts since I saw her first one back in 2013. This amazing book gave me the chance to make my own! I made a rainbow DWR using all @heatherrossinsta and @libertylondon fabrics. 🥰 The book provides incredible directions for paper piecing, and gives you permission to use templates if you want! I used @dzimmerman1252’s @ezquilting templates for the rings, but I did use Sarah’s method and patterns to paper piece a birthstone gem, and I’m so proud of it!! I even read the directions, and the @daylightcompanyusa lightbox definitely earned its keep on that part. 😂 you can see more photos of this project on my blog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ GIVEAWAY!! Want to win your own autographed copy of Sarah’s book? Just follow me, follow @nohatsquilts, like this post and tag a friend. You can tag as many friends as you like in separate comments. I’ll pick a random winner on Tuesday (1/29)! Share the word, and good luck! PLUS @daylightcompanyusa just offered to also send the winner a WAFER 2 lightbox!!! If you’re going to QuiltCon you can see them in person to check them out! They’re amazing. 🎈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #adventuresinpp #nohatsquilts #doubleweddingring #doubleweddingringquilt #doubleweddingringing #heatherross #libertyoflondon #daylightcompany (Instagram is in no way affiliated with this giveaway)</a></span></span></div>

He is so incredibly talented. And humble. Last spring, Eric leapt at the opportunity to help pull this book together in the most magical way. On a moment’s notice, he was unloading gear and scoping locations in our home (...that houses three young children 👶🏼👯♀️👀💆🏻♀️😝) for crazy good shots like this—my go-to machine (@janomeamerica 1600PQC) on my grandmother’s sewing desk, sitting in our little ocelot-wallpapered study. 👆🏼 In between takes, he was talking me off the ledge and bringing me back down to reality (...or bonding with my husband over their shared love of fishing and the outdoors). If you’ve seen the collages in the book, I think you already know what I mean when I say Eric brought something really special to the book. For those of you who haven’t, tomorrow I’ll be sharing a little slideshow (with book images and some extra takes!) so you can experience Eric’s fresh, light and bright artistry firsthand. Stay tuned! #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #adventuresbooktour #nohatsathome</a></div>

Eric @ericlubrick brought the visuals for this book together in a way that helped take what I’d been envisioning in my head from concept to reality. It felt as though we were on the same page working together from day 1—which was massively helpful, considering we only had so much time to turn things around 🤣. The slideshow above are the fruits of that labor (and thank you @annamarisa for the mad styling and @ctpublishing for the flat shots!) I also have to say Adventures in Paper Piecing & Design would be nothing but a few feathers and some intricately pieced tops without the masterful work of six longarm quilters: @myquiltdiet (#plantladyquilt 🌱) @karleeporterdesign (#snoozequilt 💤) @angelafmq (#pricklypathquilt) @kathleenquilts (#folksyfriendsquilt 🦀🐙) @rachaeldorr (#firefliesquilt ✨) @practicaldazzle (#doublediamondweddingring 💍) I asked each of them to share a few words about their process over on my blog (nohatsinthehouse.com). All those are now live, so be sure to check them out if you’re interested in hearing more about their forté (or lingering on any of these close-ups for more than a split second ☺️). #adventuresbooktour #adventuresinpaperpiecinganddesign #voodoofeathercushion #jungleviewquilt</a></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tell us about yourself! What’s something people might not expect (or already know) about you? </span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a stay at home mom of 4 and wife of 1. I bought my longarm in 2015 and knew right away that I wanted to pursue custom quilting. It started out as a personal pursuit and has organically turned into something that I do for others as well. I’ve also started teaching and am pretty excited about that!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Something that people may not already know about me is that I took up playing piano again this past year after literally not touching a piano for 20 years.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">It was a lot of work on top of quilting, homeschooling, and life in general, but I was able to take my Grade 6 RCM exam in June so I was really excited to have been able to accomplish that.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">A fun fact about me is that I don’t drink coffee – or any caffeine – which sometimes makes me feel super boring; but it’s just something I never started and now I stay away for health reasons…..</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you provide some background on how you approach quilting customer quilts generally? What types of things do you typically consider?</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sure! First of all, I like to see if there is a way that I can add any secondary designs to the quilt top. Secondary design quilting is probably one of my favourite type of quilting designs to do. I define Secondary Design quilting as any design that is not obviously intended by the piecing. When you add this type of quilting to a quilt top you are able to showcase the quilting without taking any attention away form the piecing. So that’s my preference – obviously it’s not always going to work for each quilt top, but that’s sort of the technique I used on the Double Diamond Wedding Ring.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I’m working on my personal quilts I typically work backwards and choose a quilt pattern that I know I can add the quilting designs I want onto it rather than make a quilt top and try and fit certain quilting elements onto it. So I choose what I’m going to piece with how I’m going to quilt it already in mind. When a customer sends me a quilt I look to see if the piecing creates any secondary shapes.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With the Double Diamond Wedding Ring there weren’t any secondary shapes that popped out at me so I went ahead and created my own by adding the chevron stripes that run through the quilt.</span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-CA">What influenced your quilting choices for this particular design?</span> </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I loved the beautiful colours used in the piecing and knew that I didn’t want to detract from that so I chose to match my thread colour to the piecing. Also, some of the prints are busier than others so I chose to do less complicated designs on the busier prints where you can’t see them easily anyway and focus my time and energy where the quilting would be seen. I also like to double batt all of my custom quilting projects. I makes the quilting really ‘pop’ and gives almost a trapunto like effect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Were there other ideas that came to mind? Are there any alternative quilting schemes you’d care to share? </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">I didn’t save my sketches – which are somewhat notoriously ‘rough’.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Let’s just say my quilting skill doesn’t translate to pen & paper.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">I always preface my quilting plan with a client with, “Now don’t be scared…….it will look much better than this once I quilt this out.”</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a visual and hands on learner – so if you can take a hands on class that would be the ultimate best way to learn (IMO). I know it can be intimidating, but so worth it. I took my first long arm class before I even had my long arm and was so scared to operate the long arm in front of the other ladies who were already quilters, but nobody laughed or threw things at me so it all worked out in the end! I guess the second best after that would be an online class like Craftsy or something like that – those are a great resource as well since you can watch them over and over again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>QUILTER: Rachael Dorr</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>QUILT: Fireflies</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br clear="none" /></b><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>Tell us about yourself! What’s something people might not expect (or already know) about you? </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm a British import, a mother of 3 young kids, 2 dogs and 2 bunnies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br clear="none" /><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>Can you provide some background on how you approach quilting customer quilts generally? What types of things do you typically consider?</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I keep everything the quilt owner wants in mind. We talk about what the quilt is for and what sort of effect they want - and then I do everything in my power to make that happen for them. You can add a lot of things by the way you quilt something - from the batting you use to type and color of thread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br clear="none" /><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>What influenced your quilting choices for this particular design?</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well you said you wanted the bums to glow!!! ...... so I decided how I was going to make that happen first (thread graduation in rings & a touch of metallic thread.) They are fireflies and typically you would see them at dusk in a garden so I started with some leaves/foliage at the top (feathers.) And then I just played. I love to play in negative space - so from a distance you can't really see anything but the quilt design but up-close there is a whole other layer to the piece. My biggest love is texture - and I love the way free motion quilting can make this happen. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br clear="none" /><i><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;">Were there other ideas that came to mind? </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Probably but it was such a long time ago I but can't remember!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br clear="none" /><i><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;">Any specific tips or resources for our readers who might be struggling with how to quilt this (or other) designs?</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gosh - I think all these choices are so personal. I think free motion quilting can be quite daunting especially when we have a big quilt in front of us - but it isn't as scary as it seems it will never get easier if you don't practice. Think about how long it took you to learn to write and how much effort and practice you put in as a child - it requires the same amount of regular practice - so my advice would be just to do it - by the time you have finished your first quilt you will be 99% better than when you started. Choose a neutral thread that blends into your quilt top to start - and just go for it. <br clear="none" />To work out design ideas I take a photograph of the quilt top, photocopy it and play with designs by drawing on the photocopy. By the 4 or 5th run you usually have a clear plan. It also helps you work out anything that definitely does NOT work! Because unpicking sucks - and you want to avoid that!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br clear="none" />Every quilting design is a lot less complicated than it may seem - 99.9% of all designs are constructed from 5 basic shapes that we use everyday in our writing or sketching - a straight line, an arc, a loop, an s shape and a hook - you can make literally 100's of patterns out of just one of these elements - imagine how many patterns you can make is you combine two or more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br clear="none" />You can change the look of a simple design by playing with scale (think tiny pebbles to big happy circles) or direction (lines are great for playing with direction) or by combining elements or by play with spacing. </span><br />

When you are feeling more confident you can start trying Leah Day's more complex designs motifs. Krista Withers, Judi Maden, Karen McTavish and LuAnn Kessi all have amazing design ideas you can get a lot of inspiration from. Pinterest is an endless resource of ideas too and I love 2nd hand books too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve been sewing since I was 3 years old, and have considered myself a “quilter”since I was 14.

Something you might not know about me… I haven’t worn matching socks since I was in elementary school. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>QUILTER: Karlee Porter</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>QUILT: Snooze</b><br /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i><br /></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Tell us about yourself! What’s something people might not expect (or already know) about you?<br /> </i></span>I am a Native Utahn, Wife of almost 10 years, and a mother of One. I am an absolute quilting fiend and just tolerate all the other parts of the process of quilt making- which is why most of my quilts are whole-cloth. I don’t mind piecing or binding, but for me, quilting is where the magic happens. Some random things you may not know about me, in no particular order:<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am an avid Stand-Up Paddleboarder. I love to be outside in the sun. I am also a passionate hand-letterer and writer. I can put my foot behind my head and my fingers are double-jointed. I am exceptionally good at writing raps, but I don’t really enjoy rap music. I get way too much satisfaction when putting things in rainbow order, and in another life, I would be a professional dog trainer. Thats probably enough things that you wouldn’t expect from me… haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Can you provide some background on how you approach quilting customer quilts generally? What types of things do you typically consider?</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The very first thing I consider is the client's desires. Some clients know EXACTLY what they want, and just need me to be the vessel that executes it (which I love) and other clients put quite a bit of faith in my quilting intuition. I love making the quilting process a collaboration for the quilt top maker, because after all, they are more important than I am. I also try to be mindful to HOW the quilt will be used, because in that case- density is everything. For “Snooze”, I really just loved this process because I truly feel like it encapsulated a true collaboration between Sarah and me. I love that she wants me to let my quilting work shine, but in a way that compliments HER design work so gracefully. It’s funny, because growing up (and even still) I consider myself a pretty solid Alto singer. Not great on my own, but when backing up the right soprano, can bring tears to your eyes. I love being the solid wingman when I quilt, and I just feel like Sarah and I jive so well when combining our aesthetics into a cohesive quilt. Sarah, I’ll back you up any day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>What influenced your quilting choices for this particular design?</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The goal with “Snooze” was to really accentuate the piecing design that was already there. We had a very deliberate conversation about wether or not I would quilt clock hands into this piece, and decided against it because we agreed that the theme of the quilt was about losing track of time. I loved that I got to accentuate the clock face with Graffiti Quilting going outward, but only 2 rows worth. I think that was a smart decision because again, it kept the focus on the Z’s- which are the star of the quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Were there other ideas that came to mind? Are there any alternative quilting schemes you’d care to share? (can include drawings/sketches or just descriptions)</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like I stated above, we toyed with the idea of making it look more like an actual, illustrative clock. I am glad we didn’t. I feel like this quilt turned out exactly how it needed to be. I also want to point out that through this process, as I would draw various quilting suggestions and send them to Sarah, sometimes we both just knew when things were off the mark, and it was so easy to correct them without any weird tension. I think for me, it makes me appreciate her work even more, just because she is such a phenomenal human being.</span><br />

<i style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tell us about yourself! What’s something people might not expect (or already know) about you? </span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My name is Marion Ford McClellan. I was named after my amazing grandmother. I started longarm quilting in May of 2015. I come from a whole family of artists. I had wondered my whole life where my inner artist was. I found her the day I started longarm quilting.</span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: normal;"><br /></span></span></span><i style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you provide some background on how you approach quilting customer quilts generally? What types of things do you typically consider?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I quilt for a customer, I ask them to show me things I have done that they like. Most importantly, I ask them to share any quilting motifs that they don't like. Knowing what they do not like, is the most important thing.</span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: normal;"><br /></span></span></span><i style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What influenced your quilting choices for this particular design?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In any quilt, knowing what the "star" of the quilt is, is key. For this quilt, it was obviously the plants. I needed to chose motifs that lended to the beauty of the focus of the piece. I chose to make the "shelves" all of the same. I chose dense quilting for behind the plants to make them pop. I kept the quilting sparce on the actual plants so they would appear to pop off of the quilt and really stand out. The trick with quilting, is that it is meant to enhance the artistry of the designer, not take over the design.</span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: normal;"><br /></span></span></span><i style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Any specific tips or resources for our readers who might be struggling with how to quilt this (or other) designs?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is always best to focus on motifs that you do well and then gradually build on them. If you are really good at stippling, then fool around with the size of the stipple. Once you are feeling confident in the stipple, add some loops. Most quilting motifs build on eachother. As you gain more experience, you will be able to add in new motifs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I quilt on a Gammill 30" </span><br />

When Demetria asked me if I'd be interested in collaborating on <b>What Shade Are You?</b>, my first question was... <i>is there a limit?</i> Apparently not! Which is a good thing, because if I'm anything, it's <i>many</i> things. ;) And shades is no different. So I started clipping and eventually culled that color card down to an assortment of neutrals and rygbiv (roygbiv minus the orange and easy on the violet).</div>

Within no time, I was pre-cutting my way through all those neutrals. Call me crazy, but I pre-cut pretty much e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g as part of my process, no matter how obscure the shape. It may take a little extra time up front, but makes piecing a breeze. Plus, when it comes time to pre-cut the focal fabrics (here, all those brights!), you get a nice little preview of how each element will translate into fabric, so you can make adjustments on the front end if and when you're not in love with how the color flows (or doesn't) through a given section. </div>

For those of you familiar with the challenge, the rules are pretty much the same as (recent) years past, including <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/blog/category/2014-pantone/">2014 (Radiant Orchid),</a> <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/blog/2015-pantone-quilt-challenge-marsala-edition/">2015 (Marsala),</a> and <a href="http://bryanhousequilts.com/2017/03/2017-pantone-quilt-challenge-greenery-edition.html">2017 (Greenery)</a>. In the interest of keeping things fair, we’ll be keeping an eye on entries and enforcing the rules by removing any entries that don’t meet the requirements. Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarifications!
<strong>All items must be <em>finished</em> in 2018 to be eligible.</strong><br />

<ol>
<li>First of all, the feature color! Here’s the official Ultra Violet swatch: The fabric in your quilt doesn’t have to be a <em>perfect</em> match to Ultra Violet. However, seeing as this is the <strong>Ultra Violet </strong>Pantone challenge, your project <strong>must contain at least <u>some</u> Ultra Violet or comparable purple</strong>. (Just try to get as close as you can!) You can also use any other colors or neutrals you like, and as many (and as much) as you like. That said, we would like to see Ultra Violet as the feature color of your quilt, and we will be asking the judges to take your use of Ultra Violet into account when making their decisions.</li>
<li>There will be <strong>three categories: quilts, minis, and just the top</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Quilts: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30”).</li>
<li>Minis: Shortest side under 30″. (Pillows, table runners, place mats, mug rugs, etc. all count as minis!</li>
<li>Just the Top: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30”).</li>
</ul>
<ol start="3">
<li>The contest will run from <strong>February 28 until May 11, 2018 with the link party open during the last 10 days (May 2 – May 11). </strong>Winners announced the following week (or thereabouts).</li>
<li>You can submit <strong>one entry per category</strong> (i.e., up to three entries). Entries for quilts and minis should be completed projects, including quilting and binding. Again, all items must have been <u>finished</u> in 2018 to be eligible.</li>
<li>By entering the contest, you agree that your project picture may be used in follow up posts about the Pantone Challenge.</li>

<strong>PRIZES!</strong></h1>
Remember, we have a slight change in the prizes after encountering some, shall we say, <b><i>surprising</i></b> (raises eyebrows) shipping expenses on last year’s booty. In the interest of keeping things open to everyone (from everywhere), here’s what we came up with. <b>Thanks in advance for understanding.</b>
Okay, here goes: we’re asking our judges to pick their top U.S. <i>and</i> global (non-U.S.) pick (TWO #1s!). That means regardless of where you live, you can enter in any category and be eligible for the respective prize at the 1st level (U.S. <u>or</u> Global), and <i>any</i> prize at the 2nd and Viewer’s Choice levels.
Mmmmk? Phew! Now, on to the prizes, because OMG can we please talk about how wonderful and generous our sponsors are for a sec?!? Scroll down to see what we mean…

Just as in previous years, we’ve kept the viewer participation element of this challenge so that <strong>there is a viewer’s choice award</strong> for each category. We know you’ll have fun looking at all the entries and voting for your favorite in each one (we will!)
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<u>Door Prizes</u></h2>
Finally, we would really (really) love to see an entry from absolutely everyone who feels the slightest bit inspired by Ultra Violet, regardless of skill level, so several entries that haven’t already won a prize will be drawn at random for one of our <strong>“door prizes” </strong>— brought to you by your hosts, judges, and more! *wink!*
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<strong>ENTRIES:</strong></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Entries are open NOW and will close on May 11, 2018 at 10pm PST.</strong> The link up tool (below) should tell you how much time the link-up has to run. Winners announced the following week (or thereabouts). The link party/gallery will be hosted at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a> and <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/">no hats in the house</a>, but you only have to enter at one site (assuming it all goes smoothly, it’s all the same thing).</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>Each entry should link to a blog post, Flickr page, or Instagram post.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>Each entry should include the <strong>project title and quilt dimensions</strong> <strong>and </strong><i>(psssst pay attention because this is NEW this year!)</i><strong> your country of residence. </strong>(This will help us check that the quilt has been submitted in the proper category.)</li>
</ol>
<br />

Link Up Trouble Shooting</h3>
If you haven’t used a link-up tool before, Katy from The Littlest Thistle explains everything you need to know <a href="http://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/2014/10/finish-along-quarter-3-tutorial-week_1.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
If you’re planning to use Instagram to link up, Katy has another great post explaining that process (<a href="http://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/2015/01/finish-along-quarter-4-tutorial-week_3.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>). If you’re working from a phone or tablet, check out Rhonda’s tutorial on how to link from Instagram (<a href="http://www.quilterinthegap.com/2014/12/finish-a-long-ig-a-simple-tutorial/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>).
Please pay attention to the different categories to make sure your entry winds up in the right place! But don’t worry—if you make a mistake, the link program will allow you to delete your own links and re-submit in the proper category.
*Drumroll please!*
So without further ado… the linkies!
*keep drumming*

We thought it would be fun to provide a place for people to share quilts that feature Ultra Violet but don’t necessarily comply with all the challenge rules—e.g., because they were not finished in 2018. This is the separate link-up for people to share these quilts. <strong><em>However, they will not be eligible for judging, voting, or to win prizes.</em></strong> If you link up a quilt that is not eligible for the contest (e.g., it was finished pre-2018), we will move it to this category.<br />

<br />
The Pantone Quilt Challenge is upon us, and this year we're celebrating the color <b><i>purple</i></b>!(!!!) We may be slightly biased... ;) Today, Rebecca of <a href="http://bryanhousequilts.com/" target="_blank">Bryan House Quilts</a> and I are pleased to announce the details for the <strong>2018 Pantone Quilt Challenge: Ultra Violet</strong> contest.<br />
<br />
SO, straight to the good stuff.<br />
<br />
<h2>
THE JUDGES</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-4477 size-full" src="http://bryanhousequilts.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Pantone-Graphic-Judges_Draft-e1519746105806.png" height="400" width="400" /></strong></div>
<br />
We couldn't be happier to announce our three guest judges: <a href="http://www.craftyplanner.com/">Sandi Hazelwood</a>, <a href="https://modernhandcraft.com/">Nicole Daksiewicz</a>, and <a href="https://alisonglass.com/">Alison Glass</a>.
These women are such an inspiration on so many different levels. And we're pretty sure they appreciate a good purple (ahem... Sandi). From fabric design to entertaining audio to innovative quilting—you name it, they’ve done it. We have so much love and respect for their work, and have full confidence they'll do a wonderful job considering your entries.
<strong> </strong>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
THE RULES:</h2>
<br />
For those of you familiar with the challenge, the rules are pretty much the same as (recent) years past, including <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/blog/category/2014-pantone/">2014 (Radiant Orchid),</a> <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/blog/2015-pantone-quilt-challenge-marsala-edition/">2015 (Marsala),</a> and <a href="http://bryanhousequilts.com/2017/03/2017-pantone-quilt-challenge-greenery-edition.html">2017 (Greenery)</a>. In the interest of keeping things fair, we’ll be keeping an eye on entries and enforcing the rules by removing any entries that don’t meet the requirements. Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarifications!
<strong>All items must be <em>finished</em> in 2018 to be eligible.</strong>
<br />
<ol>
<li>First of all, the feature color! Here’s the official Ultra Violet swatch:</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pantone.com/images/pages/20758/wallpaper/PANTONE-Color-of-the-Year-2018-ultra-violet-18-3838-v1-3840x2160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="225" src="https://www.pantone.com/images/pages/20758/wallpaper/PANTONE-Color-of-the-Year-2018-ultra-violet-18-3838-v1-3840x2160.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Finding this <em>exact</em> color won’t be necessary (…or perhaps even possible), so don’t sweat it—the fabric in your quilt doesn’t have to be a <em>perfect</em> match to Ultra Violet.
However, seeing as this is the <strong>Ultra Violet<em> </em></strong>pantone challenge, your project <strong>must contain at least <u>some</u> Ultra Violet or similar purple</strong>. (Just try to get as close as you can, and follow along with us here for some helpful suggestions of purpley-inspired fabrics throughout the challenge!)
You can also use any other colors or neutrals you like, and as many (and as much) as you like. That said, we would like to see Ultra Violet as the <i>feature</i> color of your quilt, and we will be asking the judges to take your use of Ultra Violet into account when making their decisions.
<br />
<ol start="2">
<li>There will be <strong>three categories: minis, quilts, and just-the-top</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Minis: Shortest side under 30". (Pillows, table runners, place mats, mug rugs, etc. all count as minis!)</li>
<li>Quilts: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30'').</li>
<li>Just-the-Top: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30'').</li>
</ul>
<ol start="3">
<li>The contest will run from <strong>February 28 until May 11, 2018 with the link party open during the last 10 days (May 2 - May 11). </strong>Winners announced the following week (or thereabouts).</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li>You can submit <strong>one entry per category</strong> (i.e., up to three entries). Entries for quilts and minis should be completed projects, including quilting and binding. Again, all items must have been finished in 2018 to be eligible.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li>By entering the contest, you agree that your project picture may be used in follow-up posts about the Pantone Challenge.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h2>
<strong>HOW TO ENTER:</strong></h2>
<ol>
<li>A link party/gallery will be hosted at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a> and <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/">no hats in the house</a>. <strong>Entries will be open from May 2 - May 11, 2018. Entries will close at on May 11, 2018 at 10pm PST.</strong></li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>Each entry should link to a blog post, Flickr page, or Instagram post.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>Each entry should include the <strong>project title, quilt dimensions, and </strong><i>(psssst pay attention because this is NEW this year!)</i><strong> your country of residence. </strong>(Don't worry, we'll remind you again when we officially open up the link.)</li>
</ol>

<strong>PRIZES!</strong></h2>
<br />
One quick note up front... we've made a <i>slight </i>change to the prize line up this year after encountering some, shall we say, <b><i>surprising</i></b> (raises eyebrows) shipping expenses on last year's booty. In the interest of keeping things open to everyone (from everywhere), here's what we came up with. <b>Thanks in advance for understanding.</b> Okay, here goes: we're asking our judges to pick their top U.S. <i>and</i> global (non-U.S.) pick (TWO #1s!). That means regardless of where you live, you can enter in any category and be eligible for the respective prize at the 1st level (U.S. <u>or</u> Global), and <i>any</i> prize at the 2nd and Viewer's Choice levels. Make sense? Phew. Now, on to the prizes, because OMG can we please talk about how wonderful and generous our sponsors are for a sec?!? Scroll down to see what we mean...<br />

Just as in previous years, we've kept the viewer participation element of this challenge so that <strong>there is a viewer's choice award</strong> for each category. We know you'll have fun looking at all the entries and voting for your favorite in each one (we will!)
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<strong><u>Door Prizes</u></strong></h4>
Finally, we would really (really) love to see an entry from absolutely everyone who feels the slightest bit inspired by Ultra Violet, regardless of skill level, so several entries that haven’t already won a prize will be drawn at random for one of our <strong>“door prizes” </strong>— brought to you by your hosts, judges, and more! *wink!*<br />
<br />
<h2>
<strong>NON-JUDGED ENTRIES</strong></h2>
<br />
We thought it would be fun to provide a place for people to share quilts that feature Ultra Violet but don’t necessarily comply with all the challenge rules—e.g., because they were not finished in 2018. We will be providing a separate link-up for people to share these quilts. <strong><em>However, they will not be eligible for judging, voting, or to win prizes.</em></strong>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<strong>OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION</strong></h2>
<br />
We would love to see your creations while you’re working on them, so be sure to tag them on Instagram using the hashtags <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/pantonequilt/">#pantonequilt</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/pantonequilt2018/" target="_blank">#pantonequilt2018</a>. We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

<br />
Today is all about wonderful things, like lavender, fabric, and bed<i>time </i>bugs(!) (You know, the good kind.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You see, our fearless little F lives for the outdoors, but is terrified of bugs. In a funny sort of way. I mean, this two-year old will pick up worms on our hikes, yet other times she'll see the teeeeeniest speck on the move and will sound the alarm:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"BUG!!! Da bug out dere! Get 'im! Noooo! Buggy!"</i></div>
<br />
At some point, my husband told her not to worry, that mommy eats the bugs. (Say WHAT?!) Which means that for a while, her reaction to any six-legged friend (foe?) ended with the query, "Mommy eat it?", eyes full of wonder and head tilted to the side, as if I'd really come to the rescue.<br />
<br />
...How wonderful? :) But rather than resorting to <i>that </i>just yet, I'm hoping some colorful, paper-pieced critters will help her warm up to the real ones. First up? Da ANTS! Inspired, yet again, by our charismatic little Picasso....<br />

Originally I'd wanted to make a whole bug quilt with these flashy picnic-crashers crawling every which way (and I still might)....<br />

But to ease into things, I decided to stitch up a single pair of six-sided, six-legged friends using Bonnie's new <a href="https://goinghometoroost.com/?p=30880&preview=true" target="_blank">Wonderful Things fabric</a>. (Don't even get me started on <a href="http://liveartgalleryfabrics.com/portfolio/wot-31400-aquarelle-study-tint/" target="_blank">Aquarelle Study in Tint</a>... allllll the heart eyes for that one, Bonnie.)<br />

Add into the mix a hint of lavender and flax and—just like that—we've got some warmable little heat packs to help make bedtime a little less, shall we say, hectic? (The struggle is real!! Are we the only ones?! I don't know about you, but with three girls under five, bedtime at our house has a pretty rowdy vibe at the moment... S.O.S.!)<br />

Because who wouldn't welcome these fanciful floral friends next to their pillow at night? The only bugs you want anywhere near your bed, amiright?! ;) Next up in the pattern design queue, maybe some ladybugs, leafhoppers or crickets to join the Bedtime Bug crew—what do you think? (P.S. Follow along on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nohatsquilts/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> to see who'll wind up tucked in next!)<br />

And tell me, any aromatherapy aficionados out there? I've been chatting with my self-proclaimed semi-crunchy cousin about this too: Chill Pill and Cheer Up Buttercup are at the top of her list. What's on yours? This newbie would love it if you'd share your favorite nighttime (or anytime!) blends in the comments :)<br />

The <strong>2017 Pantone Quilt Challenge: Greenery</strong> results are in! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">...But (quickly) before we get to that, Rebecca of </span><a href="http://bryanhousequilts.com/" target="_blank">Bryan House Quilts</a> and I just wanted to say how impressed we've been by vibrant and varied ways in which you all paid homage to Greenery. All three of our judges remarked that their decisions were not going to be easy after seeing what you came up with, so kudos to <i>all</i> of our entrants for making their jobs that much harder. :) And if you don't see your quilt listed below, we hope you know it is by no means a reflection on the quality of your work! You're all amazing.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"T</i><i style="color: #222222;">hese entries are great! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what folks made, and overall, I think everyone paid Greenery a wonderful tribute! To pick just 2 entries from the Quilts category was indeed a challenge. I loved reading about and seeing the inspiration behind Vicky's Succulence quilt. I appreciate seeing an idea translated into a finished project in a way that honors the inspiration while still having a life of its own. On the other hand, Diana's entry spoke to me in terms of color and texture. The palette achieves an interesting play on color, and the hand quilting adds great richness and detail."</i></span></div>

<i>"</i><i style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">Ah! Not an easy decision. So many talented makers and successful quilts. My criteria was first based on visual graphic impact due to not seeing the quilts in person. These are my two choice winners. Very different approach/style yet both artists exhibit originality, understanding of dynamic composition and use of greenery. Quilting enhances design, adds depth and rhythm. </i><i style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">Ultimately I am drawn to the excellent design sense of both artists and I am honored to be the judge of this challenge."</i><br />

Again, a big thank you to our judges, sponsors, and all of our entrants for making this challenge such a joy to watch over these past few months! Rebecca and I have really enjoyed seeing all of your creations come to life. And if you have any suggestions or feedback, we would love to hear it. This was our first rodeo, so to speak, and we're sure there are ways we can improve for next year, so please let us know—we're all ears!<br />

<a href="http://carolynfriedlander.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-3356 size-medium" src="http://bryanhousequilts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/carolyn-friedlander_3_1000px-300x199.jpg" height="132" width="200" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are delighted to have these three judges on board: <a href="http://carolynfriedlander.com/">Carolyn Friedlander</a> (top), <a href="http://www.jennifersampou.com/">Jennifer Sampou</a> (left), and <a href="https://christaquilts.com/">Christa Watson</a> (right). These women are such an inspiration on so many different levels, and we have full confidence they'll do a wonderful job considering your entries.
<strong> </strong>
</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
THE RULES:</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We’ll be keeping an eye on entries and enforcing the rules by removing any entries that don’t meet the requirements. (But see below for more information on the separate linky for quilts that don't meet the requirements!) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>All items must be <em>finished</em> in 2017 to be eligible.</strong>
</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all, the feature color! Here’s the official Greenery swatch:</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pantone.com/images/wallpaper/PANTONE-Color-of-the-Year-2017-3840x2160.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="" class="alignnone" height="356" src="https://www.pantone.com/images/wallpaper/PANTONE-Color-of-the-Year-2017-3840x2160.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The fabric in your quilt doesn’t have to be a <em>perfect</em> match to Greenery. However, seeing as this is the <strong>Greenery<em> </em></strong>pantone challenge, your project <strong>must contain at least <u>some</u> Greenery or similar green</strong>. (Just try to get as close as you can!)
You can also use any other colors or neutrals you like, and as many (and as much) as you like. That said, we would like to see Greenery as the feature color of your quilt, and we will be asking the judges to take your use of Greenery into account when making their decisions.
</span><br />
<ol start="2">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">There will be <strong>three categories: quilts, minis, and just the top</strong>.</span></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Quilts: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30'').</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Minis: Shortest side under 30". (Pillows, table runners, place mats, mug rugs, etc. all count as minis!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just the Top: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30'').</span></li>
</ul>
<ol start="3">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The contest will run from <strong>March 14 until May 29, 2017</strong>, with the <strong>link party open during the last ten days (May 19 - May 29, 2017).</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can submit <strong>one entry per category</strong> (i.e., up to three entries). Entries for quilts and minis should be completed projects, including quilting and binding. Again, all items must have been <u>finished</u> in 2017 to be eligible.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">By entering the contest, you agree that your project picture may be used in follow up posts about the Pantone Challenge.</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just as in previous years, we've kept the viewer participation element of this challenge so that <strong>there is a viewer's choice award</strong> for each category.

<h2>
<strong>ENTRIES:</strong></h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Entries are open NOW and will close on May 29, 2017 at 10pm PST. The link up tool (below) should tell you how much time the link-up has to run. Winners will be announced the first week of June. The link party/gallery will be hosted at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a> and <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/">no hats in the house</a>, but you only have to enter at one site (assuming it all goes smoothly, it's all the same thing). <strong>Entries will be open from May 19 - May 29, 2017. Entries will close on May 29, 2017 at 10pm PST.</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each entry should link to a blog post, Flickr page, or Instagram post.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each entry should include the <strong>project title and quilt dimensions</strong>. (This will help us check that the quilt has been submitted in the proper category.)</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you haven't used a link-up tool before, Katy from The Littlest Thistle explains everything you need to know <a href="http://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/2014/10/finish-along-quarter-3-tutorial-week_1.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're planning to use Instagram to link up, Katy has another great post explaining that process (<a href="http://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/2015/01/finish-along-quarter-4-tutorial-week_3.html" target="_blank">here</a>). If you're working from a phone or tablet, check out Rhonda's tutorial on how to link from Instagram (<a href="http://www.quilterinthegap.com/2014/12/finish-a-long-ig-a-simple-tutorial/" target="_blank">here</a>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Please pay attention to the different categories to make sure your entry winds up in the right place! But don't worry—if you make a mistake, the link program will allow you to delete your own links and re-submit in the proper category.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So without further ado... the linkies!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rebecca of <a href="http://bryanhousequilts.com/" target="_blank">Bryan House Quilts</a> and I are so thrilled <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/">Anne</a> and <a href="http://www.onthewindyside.co.nz/">Adrianne</a> entrusted us with the hefty (and, let’s be real, <em>super exciting</em>) responsibility of co-hosting the 2017 Pantone Quilt Challenge. We’re both huge fans of color, this community, and of course, a little friendly competition :) To that end, we’ve got some inspiring posts lined up, a tremendous trifecta of guest judges, not to mention some incredible prizes up for grabs thanks to our wonderful sponsors. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So let’s get straight to it: judges, rules, prizes, everything you want to know…
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
THE JUDGES</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://carolynfriedlander.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-3356 size-medium" src="http://bryanhousequilts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/carolyn-friedlander_3_1000px-300x199.jpg" height="132" width="200" /></a></div>
<h2>
</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <a href="http://www.jennifersampou.com/"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3358" src="http://bryanhousequilts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/JenniferSampou-Headshot.png" height="200" width="133" /></a> <a href="https://christaquilts.com/"><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-3357 size-medium" src="http://bryanhousequilts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Christa-Watson-Headshot-250x300.jpg" height="200" width="166" /></a></span></strong></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We couldn't be happier to announce our three guest judges: <a href="http://carolynfriedlander.com/">Carolyn Friedlander</a> (top), <a href="http://www.jennifersampou.com/">Jennifer Sampou</a> (left), and <a href="https://christaquilts.com/">Christa Watson</a> (right). These women are such an inspiration on so many different levels. From fabric design to teaching to innovative quilting to book authorship—you name it, they’ve done it. We have so much love and respect for their work, and have full confidence they'll do a wonderful job considering your entries.
<strong> </strong>
</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
THE RULES:</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those of you familiar with the challenge, the rules are pretty much the same as (recent) years past, including <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/blog/category/2014-pantone/">2014 (Radiant Orchid)</a> and <a href="http://www.play-crafts.com/blog/2015-pantone-quilt-challenge-marsala-edition/">2015 (Marsala)</a>. In the interest of keeping things fair, we’ll be keeping an eye on entries and enforcing the rules by removing any entries that don’t meet the requirements. Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarifications! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>All items must be <em>finished</em> in 2017 to be eligible.</strong>
</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all, the feature color! Here’s the official Greenery swatch:</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pantone.com/images/wallpaper/PANTONE-Color-of-the-Year-2017-3840x2160.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="" class="alignnone" height="356" src="https://www.pantone.com/images/wallpaper/PANTONE-Color-of-the-Year-2017-3840x2160.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finding this <em>exact</em> color won’t be necessary (…or perhaps even possible), so don’t sweat it—the fabric in your quilt doesn’t have to be a <em>perfect</em> match to Greenery. However, seeing as this is the <strong>Greenery<em> </em></strong>pantone challenge, your project <strong>must contain at least <u>some</u> Greenery or similar green</strong>. (Just try to get as close as you can, and follow along with us here for some helpful suggestions of greenery-inspired fabrics throughout the challenge!)
You can also use any other colors or neutrals you like, and as many (and as much) as you like. That said, we would like to see Greenery as the feature color of your quilt, and we will be asking the judges to take your use of Greenery into account when making their decisions.
</span><br />
<ol start="2">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">There will be <strong>three categories: minis, quilts, and just the top</strong>.</span></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Minis: Shortest side under 30". (Pillows, table runners, place mats, mug rugs, etc. all count as minis!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Quilts: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30'').</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just the Top: Any size from baby to bed (shortest side must be at least 30'').</span></li>
</ul>
<ol start="3">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The contest will run from <strong>March 14 until May 29, 2017</strong>, with the <strong>link party open during the last ten days (May 19 - May 29, 2017).</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can submit <strong>one entry per category</strong> (i.e., up to three entries). Entries for quilts and minis should be completed projects, including quilting and binding. Again, all items must have been finished in 2017 to be eligible.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">By entering the contest, you agree that your project picture may be used in follow up posts about the Pantone Challenge.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<h2>
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">HOW TO ENTER:</span></strong></h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">A link party/gallery will be hosted at <a href="http://www.bryanhousequilts.com/">Bryan House Quilts</a> and <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/">no hats in the house</a>. <strong>Entries will be open from May 19 - May 29, 2017. Entries will close on May 29, 2017 at 10pm PST.</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each entry should link to a blog post, Flickr page, or Instagram post.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each entry should include the <strong>project title and quilt dimensions</strong>.</span></li>
</ol>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just as in previous years, we've kept the viewer participation element of this challenge so that <strong>there is a viewer's choice award</strong> for each category. We know you'll have fun looking at all the entries and voting for your favorite in each one (we will!)
</span><br />
<h4>
<strong><u><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></u></strong></h4>
<h4>
<strong><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Door Prizes</span></u></strong></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, we would really (really) love to see an entry from absolutely everyone who feels the slightest bit inspired by Greenery, regardless of skill level, so a few entries that haven’t already won a prize will be drawn at random for one of our <strong>“door prizes”</strong>:
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.meandyoufabrics.com/">me+you</a> — Brand-spankin’ new precut triangles and hexies</span></li>

<h2>
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">NON-JUDGED ENTRIES</span></strong></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We thought it would be fun to provide a place for people to share quilts that feature Greenery but don’t necessarily comply with all the challenge rules—e.g., because they were not finished in 2017, or were made by me or Rebecca, etc. ;) We will be providing a separate link-up for people to share these quilts. <strong><em>However, they will not be eligible for judging, voting, or to win prizes.</em></strong>
</span><br />
<h2>
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></h2>
<h2>
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION</span></strong></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We would love to see your creations while you’re working on them, so be sure to tag them on Instagram using the hashtags <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/pantonequilt/">#pantonequilt</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/pantonequilt2017/">#pantonequilt2017</a>. And if your stash is a little light on Greenery, word on the street from the color guru (Anne of Play Crafts) is that Kona Kiwi and Fern are a great starting point (not to mention all those lush, pre-picked Kona palettes like Spring Meadow, Wondrous Woods, Pleasant Pastures, and Grasslands). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oakshott Fabrics’ nearest color is <a href="http://www.oakshottfabrics.com/products/Colourshott-41-Passy.aspx">Colourshott 41 (Passy)</a>, but they too have lots of gorgeous greens across the Colourshott range (including some great little bundles, like <a href="http://www.oakshottfabrics.com/products/Moss-Fat-Quarter-Pack-6-Colours.aspx">Moss</a>, <a href="http://www.oakshottfabrics.com/products/Asparagus-Fat-Quarter-Pack-6-Colours.aspx">Asparagus</a>, and <a href="http://www.oakshottfabrics.com/products/Kew-Fat-Quarter-Pack-5-Colours.aspx">Kew</a>).

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

You see, around the time Bonnie first asked us to participate, I'd been exploring a snoozy <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/yawnquilt/" target="_blank">#yawnquilt</a> theme, which made its way into this pillow for my zzz-inspiring friend, <a href="http://littleislandquilting.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Alison</a>:<br />

And with that, a bevy of swanzzz was born. <br />

<br />
Of course ever since making this little naptime quilt I've been dreaming up another muted version of this design... <br />

<br />
I've had to set it aside for various reasons, and likewise have been a bit delayed getting the paper piecing pattern released (apologies to those who've asked!) But let's just say that by the time the swans migrate (...south, and then <i>back north</i> again, that is), I'll be posting the pattern with a few layout options (think bevy // swimming in a line) to <a href="http://nohatsinthehouse.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">my little shop</a>. (For those who are patient enough to stick around, anyway!)<br />
<br />

Or, more specifically, something <i>Ode</i>. You see, when Heather first told me last year about her new line about all things paper, my mind immediately went to the trees... those luscious, leafy green givers of fresh air, shade, the seasons, and of course, <i>paper</i>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ycEQwMVqf-Cc3UJWiVrIOZFWGEnsvGICtJ0AqDxNFC9eTmde7Om6gdlUyaKnXN5wBSKZdqT0EyUU13ndtLs052xuj3kvC1R4bptaSMC8dF7FndYwkPSrZVfcIiuXLBk-3IY6PRom67Q/s1600/ode-full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ycEQwMVqf-Cc3UJWiVrIOZFWGEnsvGICtJ0AqDxNFC9eTmde7Om6gdlUyaKnXN5wBSKZdqT0EyUU13ndtLs052xuj3kvC1R4bptaSMC8dF7FndYwkPSrZVfcIiuXLBk-3IY6PRom67Q/s640/ode-full.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The design started off as a play on a row quilt, with trees both small and tall. You know, because it is <a href="http://nohatsinthehouse.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">"Ode to <i>the Trees</i>"</a> after all. But I couldn't help but add in a few doodle blocks, like this one, which I call "scratch":<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinv0gbX7V6gwrcganORLi6Hs8n0z9ErpOAMSYG0nDH4ktDLkwIyPH9rSKACT7Yl3hErLoUuWs1nhpIwAJVamTxDNNYsLM0n6e8O7NeD1FrYZ6e6RUDKHIjQ_Nd-nZS2-TiY2kHsa5xX_M/s1600/ode-scratch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinv0gbX7V6gwrcganORLi6Hs8n0z9ErpOAMSYG0nDH4ktDLkwIyPH9rSKACT7Yl3hErLoUuWs1nhpIwAJVamTxDNNYsLM0n6e8O7NeD1FrYZ6e6RUDKHIjQ_Nd-nZS2-TiY2kHsa5xX_M/s640/ode-scratch.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, as I was thinking about today's tour, I decided to test out <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/2016/04/ode-to-earth-free-pattern-hack.html" target="_blank">another hack</a>. I have to say, no offense to the trees, but "scratch" has quickly become one of my favorite blocks from this design. It's got such potential for movement, and Heather's line has the perfect range of grays to do the trick (with spot-on pops of color in that black print, I have to say!):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCTqRmvcuwofHNPWhq87_CsyPvm8pQ7vp2lh682B-TZZNAPqb75HvV3eChCtn0y7gnRoCT3uVsfxzsBj65SWx7C60kKsbzCZZM6BUEyhhC_Zf8TZSQjQHXsffmI-5s7P-hZJR02Fi86I/s1600/scratch-detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCTqRmvcuwofHNPWhq87_CsyPvm8pQ7vp2lh682B-TZZNAPqb75HvV3eChCtn0y7gnRoCT3uVsfxzsBj65SWx7C60kKsbzCZZM6BUEyhhC_Zf8TZSQjQHXsffmI-5s7P-hZJR02Fi86I/s640/scratch-detail.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
I enlarged the original pattern by 190% (similar to <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/2016/04/ode-to-earth-free-pattern-hack.html" target="_blank">what I did with the trees</a>, but even bigger :: hop on <a href="http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com/2016/04/ode-to-earth-free-pattern-hack.html" target="_blank">over here</a> for instructions on how to enlarge paper piecing designs using a simple print feature!).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjijS0CybJ8EKFywwOD-sZSfuopkCWG0nLE3vEvtftJmNtLhxxCuFQ1zsYNlTg31JiE0XjaXALo5ux0OalRI-aPW9dcYjZ4XII12k6fzhpQzX_kWnkxNNOqnBRVzY6vniXCU0V0hzq-xc4/s1600/big-scratch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjijS0CybJ8EKFywwOD-sZSfuopkCWG0nLE3vEvtftJmNtLhxxCuFQ1zsYNlTg31JiE0XjaXALo5ux0OalRI-aPW9dcYjZ4XII12k6fzhpQzX_kWnkxNNOqnBRVzY6vniXCU0V0hzq-xc4/s640/big-scratch.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And because I can't make just one, I have big plans to turn this newly enlarged 9.5" x ~23" block into this...<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCs9frWxa5Vc-EtGAoVAyNRLEmhNqZRTlcBlTsvMD2IlrUYsFblmzviVc2BWPW-noCpUz-LFomrWhqy7qk0wlbSBhl58o-ZcIADwUQOOexx3K58pFKYXfhW3cgofQHhcNjLM57wiW1Qg/s1600/scratch-layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCs9frWxa5Vc-EtGAoVAyNRLEmhNqZRTlcBlTsvMD2IlrUYsFblmzviVc2BWPW-noCpUz-LFomrWhqy7qk0wlbSBhl58o-ZcIADwUQOOexx3K58pFKYXfhW3cgofQHhcNjLM57wiW1Qg/s640/scratch-layout.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: right;">At 190%, this particular layout would finish around 45" x 60".</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Because paper's for doodles and chicken scratch too, right?<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you'll follow along here to keep up on my hack progress, and along with the rest of the tour to see some more amazing makes from fellow Paper Obsessed peeps! <br />

I've had this idea up my sleeve ever since stumbling upon the Kona Wondrous Woods color story. Naturally, Earth Day (this past Friday) seemed like as good a time as any to roll out these (very) tall trees!</div>
<div>

<div>
I mean, <i>come on.</i> Those greens! All the heart eyes. (I bought my FQ bundle <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/pre_cut/fat_quarter_bundles/kona_solid_fat_quarter_bundle_in_wondrous_woods" target="_blank">here</a> from Hawthorne Threads).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You see, the blocks in my <a href="http://nohatsinthehouse.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Ode to the Trees</a> pattern include small (7") and tall (10") versions...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinaVgEESHFPOQo8Kce_91RZgZUts9JpjEqxsGM5DQr0yzHs9fiO4cRoKKoKIVTPY6JKrcl4YzJX5sMaL4xToAbcMdK06VISBUp68mAbOgsryR1szLp648ESbdoSdtJoSJtEZV7M16qiSg/s1600/ode.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinaVgEESHFPOQo8Kce_91RZgZUts9JpjEqxsGM5DQr0yzHs9fiO4cRoKKoKIVTPY6JKrcl4YzJX5sMaL4xToAbcMdK06VISBUp68mAbOgsryR1szLp648ESbdoSdtJoSJtEZV7M16qiSg/s640/ode.jpg" width="618" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But thanks to ledger-sized paper and the poster print option, there's a quick way to hack the pattern templates to yield not-so-small (10.5") and <i>very</i> tall (15") trees.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's how!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>STEP ONE:</b> Pull up the print menu from the digital version (or your scan of the printed pattern). Note that I've switched "All" to the respective pattern page (23) under <i>Pages to Print</i>, and selected "Actual size" under the <i>Size Options</i> section.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-aqlSitSZYZi5J6qBLNWq3VS9YGzL7zA1Z37G6f3v2qtKVfHRU_IzRnN6jpDcgaj6O7uu5fl7P4g2YTiROwsN4XK1YDeOP_Mg4XsaQMC8Q3eqQ3aWhcKbtinPx4xE0nnNUXgINaj47bM/s1600/Ode-hack-1.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="481" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-aqlSitSZYZi5J6qBLNWq3VS9YGzL7zA1Z37G6f3v2qtKVfHRU_IzRnN6jpDcgaj6O7uu5fl7P4g2YTiROwsN4XK1YDeOP_Mg4XsaQMC8Q3eqQ3aWhcKbtinPx4xE0nnNUXgINaj47bM/s640/Ode-hack-1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>STEP TWO:</b> Next, click the "Poster" print tab (sometimes this is called "Tile" print, so just find the option on your printer that allows you to change the scale).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMs0KMDhclQfq4V6Y1vJh22ob5obcPSPqrBStT6uzs1QNFBzCFhXz50h4ae12DWm8VG1YPGPMjmT5zfs4bstrRAds1jc_sKj0XUIU7960o3JiS5LW2xzVEQizZGSBC6L49BijdsvPNuQ/s1600/Ode-hack-2.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMs0KMDhclQfq4V6Y1vJh22ob5obcPSPqrBStT6uzs1QNFBzCFhXz50h4ae12DWm8VG1YPGPMjmT5zfs4bstrRAds1jc_sKj0XUIU7960o3JiS5LW2xzVEQizZGSBC6L49BijdsvPNuQ/s640/Ode-hack-2.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>STEP THREE:</b> Click the "Page Setup" button. Your <i>Paper Size</i> likely defaults to US Letter or A4, as depicted below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSmY_tvKpTb5vMLYOQm1eEM2yNu9-xglsencQ6gQSOeSy6_JdwMVUThAbAsjPSMOCDcaj6kL94wV1AzobK0Uro27i2SGVbhFT24Ia57NVCpvhR-ucosPgx94Kud1QLx_kqyucN7DL2DE/s1600/Ode-hack-3.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSmY_tvKpTb5vMLYOQm1eEM2yNu9-xglsencQ6gQSOeSy6_JdwMVUThAbAsjPSMOCDcaj6kL94wV1AzobK0Uro27i2SGVbhFT24Ia57NVCpvhR-ucosPgx94Kud1QLx_kqyucN7DL2DE/s640/Ode-hack-3.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>STEP FOUR:</b> Switch from your letter-sized default to Tabloid or Ledger (11" x 17"):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxzB2O_YO-OO8vLNHOG6w6C0SpuSTCB9ft87H1HAaJ64TW0iRQ1xCLqfdp3Mr1AmfBYik5OolhL_N7EWeeagrSOQl501psPriVxwBn2SyFR7_MSiWOvb7HORx51YrjYhyphenhyphenzEjLXvq87JEw/s1600/Ode-hack-4.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="481" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxzB2O_YO-OO8vLNHOG6w6C0SpuSTCB9ft87H1HAaJ64TW0iRQ1xCLqfdp3Mr1AmfBYik5OolhL_N7EWeeagrSOQl501psPriVxwBn2SyFR7_MSiWOvb7HORx51YrjYhyphenhyphenzEjLXvq87JEw/s640/Ode-hack-4.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>STEP FIVE:</b> Under the "Poster" tab, change <i>Tile Scale</i> from 100% to 150%.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsORje1HyiDUkVtRQAyBpCax0h5DZas9QW2GywtdI-g1GY9nAShba2nbKTBWLKC5wsXg9FEtlYR6cjsgej0DvFhFxAsSjDezPIV-BKEalS8XaDIEGGHXAL4_TkerHllah1A88TSvgcViY/s1600/Ode-hack-5.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsORje1HyiDUkVtRQAyBpCax0h5DZas9QW2GywtdI-g1GY9nAShba2nbKTBWLKC5wsXg9FEtlYR6cjsgej0DvFhFxAsSjDezPIV-BKEalS8XaDIEGGHXAL4_TkerHllah1A88TSvgcViY/s640/Ode-hack-5.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
ALL DONE! Notice that your formerly small 7" trees have grown into not-so-small 10.5" trees that print one-per-page on ledger/tabloid paper! And guess what... <i>you can do this to pretty much any pattern you want! </i>Neat, huh? :o)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqeQtFf9EdpwlaYACyxBGGLgG8tOGed6oJt2LD3n4QWG9ECkSctYgc1R1Iwq8lU_O8fd-Cg-uCWwjGQr9Z-nxk4PXQgr-AdbSmdhC1rW_r22Vz66NSldKKkuWgb5oFE_2MSnxNv1tp7Wk/s1600/Ode-hack-6.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="481" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqeQtFf9EdpwlaYACyxBGGLgG8tOGed6oJt2LD3n4QWG9ECkSctYgc1R1Iwq8lU_O8fd-Cg-uCWwjGQr9Z-nxk4PXQgr-AdbSmdhC1rW_r22Vz66NSldKKkuWgb5oFE_2MSnxNv1tp7Wk/s640/Ode-hack-6.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>TALL TO VERY TALL:</b> To apply the same transformation to the tall tree templates, walk through the steps above but just change the <i>Pages to Print</i> to the tall tree page of your digital file (those are on page 24 of the digital pattern):<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
...Voilà! Very tall trees. <i>With very little effort!</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0xjks1DtafqhUyqRFbB9k5KE99hCIML4rkCEMNknXvcvAfPxpC78jE1b_iWHKFdYvTvP6H8pySH8i4QjcVJwf-YvacyRxE4mePMoj6rSWmLWwq3unvT4zqVZxKzQBhJ9-1hXCQJfmKrY/s1600/ode-to-the-land-and-sea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0xjks1DtafqhUyqRFbB9k5KE99hCIML4rkCEMNknXvcvAfPxpC78jE1b_iWHKFdYvTvP6H8pySH8i4QjcVJwf-YvacyRxE4mePMoj6rSWmLWwq3unvT4zqVZxKzQBhJ9-1hXCQJfmKrY/s640/ode-to-the-land-and-sea.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And for those of you who aren't able to print on 11" x 17" paper, <i>fear not!</i> You too can have yuuuuuuge trees! Simply skip over <b>STEPS THREE + FOUR</b> above, and poster print at 150% on whatever paper your printer prefers. I wanted to share the ledger option because it just so happens to wind up with the two tree templates splitting perfectly apart, each on its own separate page. (Full disclaimer: anything smaller than ledger will require taping, but a little tape never hurt anyone, right?)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't wait to sew this entire Wondrous Woods bundle into a wonderfully wild grove. I'll post a more complete tutorial once I do (spoiler alert :: it involves 1.5" strips to streamline the cutting process for the branches!) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And in the meantime, I hope you'll take advantage of my Earth Day flash sale! That's right! <b>For the next 24ish hours, </b><b style="text-align: center;">save 22% off ALL patterns (land, sea and air!) when you <a href="http://nohatsinthehouse.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">enter code ODETOTHEEARTH at checkout in the new shop</a>! <i>Code expires 4/25/16 at midnight EST!</i></b></div>
