I've been watching the PQ Challenge from afar for a few years and have been amazed at the creative process. Just retired and have wanted to get back to being creative with my quilts so here's my first attempt. I used scraps and fabrics from my stash to create Hope Springs Eternal. I was inspired by the PQ Mystery - I "love" PQ with the lettering appearing in the design so I used 1 1/2 inch squares to write HOPE.
I found the green fabric that was perfect for raw appliqué of the grass for Spring and attempted to create the eternity symbol throughout the border. A friend of mine suggested I give it to an oncology clinic which made me think of how hopeful I am for the cure of cancer. My final project ended up 28x12. It could be a small runner or a wall hanging.

Very nice, I want to use the letters from the mystery quilt too, just waiting for inspiration.
