With the middle of February past, the deadline for the 2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge is drawing near. Today, my co-host Anne from Play Crafts and I are showing you the progress on our radiant orchid quilts and a few of the awesome quilts that other people are working on.
This Kaffe Fassett quilt using modern fabrics is one of my Pantone Quilt Challenge projects. The purples in it tend to be slightly more on the blue side than the red-violet that is radiant orchid, but I love it just the same.
Next up is this gorgeous quilt from Erin aka @madbury13 on instagram. Erin says "each plus is a different "purple" fabric and the backgrounds vary, but are mostly white tone on tone with some gray thrown in to hopefully (?) add some depth". I think the use of different backgrounds is fantastic and definitely adds depth and interest! I can't wait to see this one finished.
This lovely little colour study by Leanne from she can quilt has the most exciting backstory. Leanne imagined, planned, cut, pieced, quilted, bound and washed this quilt over a single weekend, because she had the chance to test drive a long-arm quilting machine. She's now the owner of her very own long-arm so this quilt has a lot to answer for! I think the quilting is particularly fantastic.
This final quilt top is made by my real life friend Anne aka elmosmate. The pattern is called Fractured Heart and is from Kathy Doughty's new book Adding Layers - Colour, Design & Imagination
and looks truly fantastic in grey and purple.

Button is now on my blog! I am participating, I promise, just been kind of quiet about it. I'll get a post up soon!
I worked some more on mine this weekend, it WILL be done.
I love all the quilts, especially that heart. Thank you for featuring my quilt, I still cannot believe I finished this challenge so early.
That heart looks amazing!
Ah! Where is the time going! I am hoping to get started this week :)
Wow, I hadn't seen the heart in total, that's beautiful! As are the other two. :) It's going to be an exciting challenge!
