There were 667 quilts were made in Season 9 and 52 people participated in all six challenges. I was one of the 52 who did all six. My personal goal this season was to be colorful and use rainbows when possible. (My instincts were pretty good as half of the Viewer's Choice winners featured rainbow colors.)
I like Project Quilting because it challenges me to think differently and I've made some of my favorite pieces for the challenges. I also like that there's a chance to win prizes, and this year I won two of the randomly drawn "Ultimate Weekly Sponsor" prizes.
From the Bold & Brave Challenge I won a $50 Gift Certificate from Therm-o-web. With my art quilts I can go through a lot of fusible web, so that will come in handy.
From the Mellow Yellow Challenge I won a plethora of goodies from Wise Craft Handmade including a signed copy of the book Wise Craft Quilts, a set of English Paper Piecing templates, a 5" Ruby Ruler, and a quilt pattern of my choice.
Season 9 of Project Quilting is over but now it's time for the monthly off season Project Quilting Challenges. There aren't prizes for these challenges, but you do have a full month to complete them. The theme for April is "April Fools."
So a big thanks to Kim of Persimon Dreams for hosting Project Quilting, and a special thanks to Therm-o-Web
