The theme for the fifth challenge of Season #16 of Project Quilting, hosted by Kim at Persimon Dreams and Trish at Quilt Chicken is "Follow Your Arrow. Here is the description:
16.5 Follow Your Arrow
This week’s challenge invites you to explore arrows.
As a motif or shape in quilting, arrows were there from Day One.
Chevrons can be a very modern, streamlined arrow shape.
You can find lots of patterns for arrowhead-and-feathered-shaft Robin Hood style arrows.
And of course tons of very traditional blocks create dramatic arrow shapes across your quilt
Your “arrow” can be simple and literal or deep and introspective (well, only as deep as a one-week deadline allows!).
Rule One: Your completed project must include an arrow shape.
I decided to feature yellow arrows in my project because that is our new color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. The deep teal background fabric was leftover from another recent project. I made another placemat to add to the collection going to Meals on Wheels.
The backing fabric is quite old, but the colors coordinated perfectly.
Check out all the different projects inspired by this week's Project Quilting theme at Kim's blog, Persimon Dreams. There's only one more challenge left for this season of Project Quilting, to be posted at noon CST on Sunday, March 16th. Come join the fun! I'm also linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework.
Happy quilting!

Simple, but very effective. Your colors really make the project.
ReplyDeletePretty color combination.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the contrast on your PQ16.5, Julie! That particular arrow block was one that I contemplated using in my project, but found another that used HSTs instead. Someone will really enjoy your cheerful placemat!
ReplyDeleteNice job combing two of your projects! I love it when one is able to do that!
ReplyDeleteYellow and Teal is a striking combination. I think Ukraine every time. What a time!
ReplyDeleteTwo challenges covered in one project. . .brilliant! I sure liked your orientation of the arrows and the color combination rocks!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
