Mocha Mousse

With very little fanfare, Pantone announced their 2025 Color of the Year yesterday, Mocha Mousse. 


Received with somewhat skeptical reviews - at least on their IG post - I personally kinda love it. And with Sarah @saroy and Elizabeth @elizabethkray hosting the Pantone Quilt Challenge 2025 next spring, I'll definitely be playing with it. Daughter dear, Rachel @snippetsofsweetness has already ordered our official Pantone swatches, so I'll be searching for good fabric matches in the months ahead.

Meanwhile, I can't resist sharing a review of my previous Pantone-inspired quilts. It's tradition! Next year will make 14(!) years.

:: Peach Fuzz 2024 :: "Keen"


:: Viva Magenta 2023 :: "Verve"

:: Very Peri 2022 :: "Red Cross Meets Very Peri"

:: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating 2021 :: "Some Like It Medium"


:: Classic Blue 2020 :: "Utterly Blue"


:: Living Coral 2019 :: "Timeless"


:: Ultra Violet 2018 :: "Grape Fizzy"


:: Greenery 2017 :: "Evergreenery"


:: Rose Quartz and Serenity 2016 :: "Pantone Meets Bias Tape"


:: Marsala 2015 :: "Sizzling"




:: Emerald 2013 :: "An Emerald Table"


:: Tangerine Tango 2012 :: "Tangerisk"

So what do you think? Like it or not, do you anticipate dabbling with Mocha Mousse in the new year? If you haven't joined in the Pantone Quilt Challenge before, I encourage you to. It's always a fun challenge with amazing results.

    I have no idea if I'll have the time to dabble with it, but I sure have enjoyed trying to work brown into my quilts lately. I think it's a great color and will make for a fun challenge.

    I have been thinking about browns lately. How do you order fabric swatches for the color of the year?

    i look forward to your "swatch review" when you match up the swatch with fabrics to see which works best. I'm not sure I have that shade of brown in my stash, but it's kind of fun, I think?
