It’s here! The 2023 Pantone Quilt Challenge officially kicks off today! If you’re just learning about the challenge or need a reminder:
All participants are free to work at their own pace, and the link-up will be open May 8-15. If you need some additional prodding and/or motivation, we’ve laid out a handy schedule for you!
Week 1 – Inspiration
If you are following our timeline, this week is all about inspiration! Elizabeth and I (Sarah) know quilters draw inspiration from wide and varied sources — from nature to architecture to home decor and more. What’s making the wheels in your own head start spinning these days, and how does Viva Magenta fit in? We’d love to hear about the inspiration for your project and any design considerations you’re thinking about.
Share your thoughts in the comments or on Instagram using our challenge hashtag #PantoneQuiltChallenge2023.
p.s. Elizabeth and I both posted a selection of quilts we spotted at QuiltCon 2023 that featured Viva Magenta. The links below will take you to Instagram to see them all!

Life has been so crazy I was beginning to wonder if I could truly participate this year. BUT…. this past weekend I was flipping threw at quilt book by Freddy Moran and Gwen Marston at the Austin library when inspiration struck! I believe my quilt will be on the small side, but I’m excited about it! Thanks for hosting
Hooray for finding inspiration and can’t wait to see what you make!
I may just DO this after all! I have only joined the Pantone quilt challenge one other time…and the quilt I made for that, is my inspiration for this! Yay! Thank you for your time and energy in hosting!
Oh how fun — one Pantone quilt inspiring another! I look forward to seeing it!
