Practically Luminous - Project Quilting Quilting Season 12, Challenge 1

 This is the first challenge of Season 12 of Project Quilting.

I'm excited to join in the challenge -  Illuminating + Ultimate Gray

My entry:

Practically Luminous

Kim at Persimon Dreams hosts Project Quilting
and

this is the 9th year I'm participating.

Kim announces a challenge and you have one week to create something quilty.

Prizes can be won and it's a great way to meet new blogging friends.

The rules in this challenge are that the project must feature Pantone’s Color of the Year 2021 – which is actually two colors: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.  It must include either applique, piecing, or have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.

I worked on a quilt top all week off and on for the challenge but in true Project Quilting style,

I had to scrap that idea because of the time and make something I could finish.

I'll be able to finish the quilt top later for my personal challenge of finishing quilts 

for all of my quilt blocks in 

30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days

To have a finish for Project Quilting,

I printed a paper pieced pattern and made myself a

Practically Luminous Pincushion.
