The Project QUILTING prompt, Hope Springs Eternal, made me think of Spring; a child waiting for a seed to sprout or a flower to bloom. I also thought about the seeds we plant in our minds, in our hearts in our friendships, in our families and how it takes work to remain hopeful that they will sprout.

Hope Springs Eternal
Spring is a time of rebirth, a time for hope, a time for new beginnings. Every spring, flowers bloom and the world comes alive again. It is a time to start anew and look to the future.

A persistent little purple flower growing in a crack in our asphalt driveway each summer. We no longer have that home but I still remember looking for that little purple flower each year. It always made me smile.
Thank you very much for this assistance.
I had so much fun doing this project using everything I had on hand.

Project Quilting Challenge 10.1 ~ Hope Springs Eternal
This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme. Anyone can vote for their favorite.
When I heard the theme was Hope Springs Eternal, the first thing I thought of was the cancer ribbons offering hope to patients. I discovered there are more than 25 official colors promoting cancer awareness, with pink for breast cancer being the most recognized. I thought it would be good to bring all of the different colors together in one ribbon to offer hope to all.
I made this quilt in honor of all cancer survivors. My quilt is 16x16.
I will update this post when I get the link to vote. Voting will close on Friday, January 18 at 8pm, CST.

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.

“Stars of Hope” is what I’ve named this 40x50” quilt made from both charm squares and jelly roll strips.
It will go to a group who are providing quilts for the children of Paradise, CA who have lost everything in the fire in November, and who know and thing or two about Hope and how one must never give it up.”
