Well, hello April! Was March just a complete blur in your life? I hope you and yours are happy and healthy. We're doing okay at my house. Maybe okay enough that I can get to the backlog of blog comments, blog writing, and other work that went by the wayside in March.

Alas, the fun stuff. This month's Show Me Something theme is Improv! 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 April 30. See all the details below.

Now, I suspect you're either an improv quilter or you aren't. If it's something you've done, that's grand! If not, I sure hope you'll try something new this month. Here's an Improv Triangles on the Corners Tutorial from my blog. (Double Triangles shown below.) Or your improv could be precise piecing turned improv in the layout and design step, like my Playful Pillow. The possibilities are endless! (Just check out the #improvquilt hashtag on Instagram.)

Maybe you own one of these books that could be an inspiration to you this month. (affiliate links)

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. :-)

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.

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

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.
