I had so much fun joining the Pantone Challenge last year (I entered my quilt top Echo), that I decided to play along this year. You can read more about the challenge on Sara's blog.
The pantone color of the year is Peach Fuzz. For my quilt, I choose Painter's Palette color Verbena and then paired it with black and a color called Bittersweet.
My blocks will finish at 6" x 6". Due to a miss-cut of the verbena fabric, I am ONE block short of the layout I wanted.
ONE block more of fabric would take the layout from 48" x 54" to 54" x 54". .
Fortunately, the Pantone Challenge has a quilt top category so I can just enter the quilt top while I look for an opportunity to tuck an order for Verbena in with other fabric. The other option is to 'make' fabric and piece the block a bit differently. I may give that a try to see what it looks like.
By chance, do any of you have any of this color you no longer want?
This has been a really fun quilt to make and I can't wait to share more! Submission deadline is April 29!
Looks like great progress to me and shoot, I hope you can find a solution to make the quilt a bit larger!
