This is the first
Pantone quilt challenge I have entered. It happened on kind of a whim. I was cleaning up my sewing room after a project and started looking at some of my scraps. That very afternoon I decided to recreate the Pantone color card for this year's color of the year. It is a combination of Oakshott and Kona solids.
It's small, 10 x 14 inches, but I'm really happy with it. I also had fun photographing it at my local Lowe's.
Category: Mini
Size: 10 x 14 inches
Fabric: Oakshott cotton, Kona solid
Handquilted
Backing and binding: Designed by Saffron Craig
I had to buy a roll of tape at Lowe's, and it proved not quite tacky enough to keep the quilt positioned. But I was able to capture the photo as the quilt fell to the floor...
I had a great time creating this so I hope you enjoy my little quilt.

This is so amazing! I thought I left a comment, but I don't see it. Sorry if I'm repeating myself. :) I love that you took the idea of the Pantone chip and really went with it!
