Announcing The 2018 Monthly Color Challenge Blog Hop!

Screen Shot 2017-12-16 at 5.05.00 PM
My friend Jen from Patterns by Jen has put together a fantastic project this year.
Each month Jen will be designing a block in the color of the month.  Her block will be available in both 12″ and 6″ options.  Jen does beautiful designs, and she promises these will be beginner friendly.  The other bloggers participating in the hop will be either making Jen’s block or sharing a project of their own, which may or may not be a quilt block.  I will be designing a block, too.
Towards the end of the year, Jen will be sharing layout ideas to make a complete quilt.

The Challenge
Each month you will make something in the color of the month, either the block of the month or something else.  Jen will be hosting a link up party at Patterns by Jen for the last week of the month.  Share a photo of your project for the month, and you will be entered into the drawing for a prize.  Jen will be picking winners on the first of each month.
The Prizes
What are these prizes?  The following sponsors will be giving gift cards and fabric bundles!

And finally, the grand prize will be custom quilting of a top, provided by yours truly, a $202.50 value.

The Details

  • Maximum top size of 90′ x 90″
  • Winner provides backing and batting, 8″ longer and wider than the top
  • Return shipping included in the US only.
    ***Quilt will not be trimmed or bound.  Those services are available for a fee.
    ***Batting is available for $20
  • Every entry into the monthly linkup will result in an entry into the drawing for quilting.
