Before I started drafting this post, I reread my 2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge entry and after a quick skim, realized I seem to have a theme for these - start with plan A, switch gears underway, submit a pillow ; ) This year I'm in the midst of drafting a new pattern using Greenery, and way back in March when Sarah and Rebecca announced the challenge, I had hoped to have an entire quilt completed in time. The quilt is well underway, but instead I'm entering into the Mini category a test block that I made early on and turned into a cushion cover. I've tweaked the quilt design a tad since, but this orphan block was perfect for pillow making since I'm trying to add blues and greens in our living room. I finished it with straight line quilting befitting of a project that will end up heavily laundered post pb&j fingers, and regularly used in family pillow fights. The back has a simple envelope closure in a great green and blue geometric. P.S. Want to see all the 2017 Pantone Quilt Challenge entries and vote for your favorite? Click here! Voting closes 6/2/17.

I think your pillow looks great! Having just made my first pillow this weekend myself (yeah, I am finally stepping out of the 'only a quilter' zone for a bit), I am definitely crushing on having a smaller and quick finish. I look forward to seeing the full quilt when it is ready! :)
