Game 1: 

Guccilicious

By Elizabeth Eastmond of OP Quilt (@occasionalpiecequilt)

"Even though this madness is happening in Spring, it's also the month of the Paris Fall Fashion Shows.  I fell in love with all the colors being shown by the house of Gucci, and pulled from the hues from the clothes that walked the runways this month.  They are a rich combination of red, pink and teal with a pop of periwinkle, fresh melon and citrusy green.  They are all Guccilicious!"

Fabrics (clockwise from top): 121-079 Raspberry, 121-055 Poppy Red, 121-108 Clementine,

121-087 Lemon Ice, 121-012 Pale Iris, 121-138 Gulf Stream, 121-137 Poseiden, 121-013  Teal

vs.

Tourmaline and Mustard Seed 

By Christine Perrigo of Contemporary Custom Quilting (@ccpquilt)

"I used to drive by a house on the way to visit my family that was painted mustard with cream trim, and teal shutters. I thought that color scheme was genius, and have been wanting to translate it into fabric."

Fabrics (from top): 121-013 Teal, 121-100 Aruba, 121-062 Pale Aqua, 121-138 Gulf Stream,

Game 2:

Magenta Madness

By Cindy Wiens of Live a Colorful Life (@liveacolorfullife)

"The inspiration for this bundle came entirely from a shirt worn by a man sitting in front of me in church. It was a plaid shirt in shades of magenta and gray, and the fabric had such a beautiful sheen that I wanted to ask him where he bought it. These colors are a little different than the ones I normally work with, but I find them exciting and soothing at the same time."

 

Fabric (from top): 121-046 Royalty, 121-030 Bordeaux, 121-150 Wine, 121-028 Red Violet,
121-107 Wisteria, 121-085 Thistle, 121-021 Mauve, 121-018 Petal

vs. 

Birds of Paradise

by Shelley Brooks (@shelleybrooksquilts)

"Bird of Paradise was inspired by warm lush colors with a flash of green for fun and silver to make it all glow.  Normally, I gravitate to cool colors - greens, turquoises, blues, but lately I've been looking at a lot of quilt inspirations with warm citrusy colors.  When this bundle of Painter's Palettes Solids arrived - I pretty much squealed - they are gorgeous together!"

Fabrics (from top): 121-010 Silver, 121-089 Island, 121-108 Clementine,
121-124 Carrot, 121-055 Poppy, 121-073 Sangria, 121-028 Fuchsia, 121-151 Grape
