I always look forward to the announcement of Pantone's color of the year. This year's colors really resonated with me...
Illuminating and Ultimate Gray. Both beautiful, separately and together. In fact, I have decorated my guest bedroom and bath in these colors. So it felt good to dive in and use them together in a small quilt. Small because the McKinney Modern Quilt Guild will be displaying them in the display case at the library again this year, as we did in 2019.
I actually made my quilt several months ago. After I pattern tested my friend Jane (Twiggy and Opal)'s Sparkle quilt, I decided to make a much tinier, two color version as a personal challenge. I used Kona Bright Idea (Illuminating) and Kona Overcast (Ultimate Gray) and made this 12" version of Sparkle...
Today it heads off to the library display. I hope to get up there sometime this month to see all of the quilts from our guild.
Have you made anything with this year's colors of the year?

Nice! Fun to see a two-color version of Jayne's pattern, and I too like the two colors together.
Great challenge! Well done.
Cute quilt…
