Welcome to month three of Show Me Something! Last month you shared nearly 50 projects featuring triangles. This month I want to see your favorite rainbow projects! Choose something you've already finished or use Show Me Something as a one-month quilt challenge to finish something new. Just make sure to linkup by March 31. See all the details below.

What's not to love about a rainbow!?

You have a couple of options for linking up. You can choose a previously finished project that fits the category to share. This can be a new or old blog post. Or you can use the category as a challenge to create something new, a month-long challenge of sorts. And it's always appropriate and encouraged to double dip and layer this challenge on top of some other challenge or project you are creating this month. This is for fun and community building. There won't be any sponsorship or prizes. Please view what others share and comment on their work to be an active participant in the community. I will feature a selection of the linked up projects in a future blog post at Sarah Goer Quilts.

This month, Show Me Something Rainbow! Happy Quilting. :-)

Here are the linkup details:

  • The monthly Show Me Something linkup will start on the first of the month and continue until midnight (PST) on the last day of the month.
  • You may linkup a maximum of 3 new or old finished projects that fit the theme.
  • You may linkup a blog post or Instagram post.
  • If you linkup from a blog post, please link back to this post in your post. If you post from Instagram, you can tag me @sarahgoerquilts.
  • Visit others in the community who share their projects... and leave comments. :-)

I hope you'll join in and Show Me Something Rainbow!

 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Superfast Project QUILTING 11.4 post since I finished and photographed my quilt just 30 minutes before the deadline. Phew!

This one is just a twofer, the PQ challenge and a sample for my Creating a Scrappy Slab workshop, which I will be teaching at Bay Area Modern Quilting on April 24, 2020, in Palo Alto, CA. I wanted to create more samples of using a scrappy slab in a traditional block, so this was a perfect opportunity. I continued with my PQ theme this season of a limited palette of black, white, and one other color and turned to my scrap bags for black and white prints.

Here are my trimmed down scrappy slabs.

I opted for walking foot quilting and used marked dots for guiding my lines.

My quilt finished at 9.5" x 9.5". Click through to Kim's blog to see all of the other Birds in the Air submissions.

Thanks for visiting!

In January we had 43 projects linkup up for Show Me Something Purple. I loved seeing a mix of new and old. Here are a few that caught my eye.

I drooled over Blue and Purple Hidden Wells by Lorinda of Laurel, Poppy & Pine from the moment I saw her fabric pull. The saturated blues and purples are my jam. There's a great optical illusion from the secondary pattern, too!

 

Vasudha of Storied Quilts used the lovely, soft Quiet Shades fabric collection for her Purple Mountain Majesty quilt. She did a phenomenal job blending the fabrics and making purple the star of the quilt. And her free motion quilting is amazing!

 

I have a deep love for math and geometry, so I was drawn to Flower of Life by Andrée of Quilting and Learning - What a Combo! I enjoyed reading about her process of creating this circular quilt. And her quilt was a twofer as it was her submission to the Project QUILTING 11.1 challenge.

 

And incidentally, this past weekend, I went for a massage and this lovely stained glass piece was hanging in the front window.

 

Thank you to everyone who linked up last month! Be sure to hop back over to the Show Me Something Purple linkup to check out everything that was shared.

And this month I'm asking you to Show Me Something with Triangles! If you haven't had a chance to share a project yet, you have until the end of the month.
