I like to participate in quilt challenges, and I've made projects for three of the previous Pantone Quilt Challenges over the years (Greenery, Ultra Violet, and Viva Magenta). I've just realized that I have always submitted to the "Just the Top" category, so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I'm submitting my Mocha Mousse quilt top this year.

In choosing a palette, I considered many options for how I might be able to add other colors to the palette while still featuring Mocha Mousse. In the end I decided to stick with a monochromatic palette, edited down slightly from a bundle I purchased from Sewfinity.

Inspired by my Red Improv Log Cabin quilt, I started with a sawtooth star in the center. My plan is to echo the star with quilting lines, and to fill each section with interesting motifs, similar to the quilting on my inspiration quilt. Though, with the mocha solids, the quilting will have more of an opportunity to really be the star.

I started by making my 12" (finished) Sawtooth Star for the center, then I worked intuitively choosing each fabric as I went for my log cabin design.

It's so interesting to me how colors shift depending on the lighting. This one was taken indoors with an overhead light that is white in color. The outdoor photo above was taken on a sunny day, with the quilt in full shade.

I'm linking up to the Pantone Quilt Challenge. Thank you so much to Sarah Ruiz and Elizabeth Ray for hosting, to the judges, and to all the sponsors. And congratulations to everyone who found inspiration with this year's Pantone Color of the Year and submitted something. I really enjoy the variety of the projects submitted.
