PQ Challenge 12.6

PQ Challenge 12.6 is the final challenge for the 2021 Project Quilting. The challenge theme is Ab Intra, Latin for “from within”. Of all the challenge projects I’ve done, this was the most difficult. What I made was not difficult at all, it was deciding what to make that was a challenge. 

After much thought and whining, I came up with a nod to my heritage. I come from Swedish and German heritage, so I put this little mat together, just for fun. The center is the Swedish and German flags, surrounded by an improv border combining the colors of both flags.

The finished mat is 6-1/2″ square. All of the fabrics are from my stash, and it is the first of the PQ challenge projects that I’ve made with all solid fabrics.

This was my first year participating in Project Quilting, and I’m so glad I did. I hope you enjoyed seeing my PQ Challenge 12.6 Ab Intra piece, as well as my little parade of PQ projects!
