Persimmon Persuasion + Pantone Just-the-top Entry

This is the story of a quilt backing that became a quilt top.  I originally pieced enlarged tumbler blocks to be the backing of my Pantone Quilt Challenge, South Rim.   But, my husband said, "Who's going to see that on the back?  Just go and buy some fabric for a backing."  So I did.


The name was inspired by the fabric I thought matched the Pantone Living Coral swatch the best, Tula Pink's Essential Solid in Persimmon.

The other fabrics are Canyon by Kate Spain, Kona Peach, a print from Rhonda Ruth by Elizabeth Hartman, and an Art Gallery print.



When I was taking photos in the back yard, I managed to catch this bee on the hydrangea.




I'm entering Persimmon Persuasion in Just-the-top category of the 2019 Pantone Quilt Challenge.

  4. Well that is awfully fun isn't it - a back that becomes a quilt instead. Of course, that meant you needed another back, but I am sure you figured it out.
