It’s week 5 of the 2026 Pantone Quilt Challenge! If you’re just learning about the challenge or need a reminder:
- General info and rules are here.
- No judges or prizes this year, but you’ll be eligible for a woven quilt label — and we welcome donations to help offset the cost of those labels.
- Follow @pantonequiltchallenge, @bysarahruiz, and @cottonandbourbon on Instagram for more challenge fun.
All participants are free to work at their own pace, and the link-up will be open April 20-27. If you need some additional prodding and/or motivation, we’ve laid out a handy schedule for you!

Week 5 – Halfway!
Can you believe it? We are officially halfway done! How’s your project coming along? Are you ahead of schedule — or already done? Do you need to pick up the pace? Even if you haven’t started, there’s still plenty of time to join the fun with just under a month remaining before the April 28 deadline.
Share your thoughts in the comments or on Instagram by tagging us @pantonequiltchallenge and using our challenge hashtag #PantoneQuiltChallenge2026.
