Congratulations, ladies! We'll be emailing you for your mailing address. 

Two last big thank yous:
First, to our fabulous 16 designers, who created such gorgeous palettes and made it so difficult to vote! Thank you, ladies, for playing along--you are all winners in our eyes--and we can't wait to see what you create with your bundles!

And second, a final big thank you to everyone who followed along and voted during our Mad for Solids bracket. We hope you enjoyed seeing just a few of the many palettes that can be created with our Painter's Palette Solids, and we hope you've found a few more friends to follow (including us!), either on IG or through their blogs. And be sure to ask your local quilt shop to carry your favorite Painter's Palette colors. 
(See all 16 bundles from our bracket here.)

Be sure to visit us tomorrow, when we'll be introducing a 6-day block hop featuring Barbara J. Eikmeier's Vintage Shirting and Dress Prints collection. 

Final Four Voting!!!

Welcome back to the Final Four voting for our Mad for Solids bracket! 

We started out with 16 different palettes, created by 16 different designers, each featuring eight fabrics from our Painter's Palette Solids collection. (See the original 16 here!)

We're now down to just 4 palettes! Help us narrow these 4 down to 2, and then come back on Tuesday to help us choose a champion! (Tomorrow you'll have a chance to win a bundle of the winning palette as well!)

Voting for the Final Four is now closed.

Look at the bundles and choose your favorite for each game. Leave a comment below with your picks for both games. Please list the bundle name and the name of the bundle creator. Please vote only once per game. Voting for these two games is open from 12 pm CST on 4/11 through 11:59 am CST on 4/12.

Game 1: Carnival vs. Tropical Storm

Choose your favorite and leave a comment below with the name of the bundle and the name of the bundle creator.

Carnival 

By Shelley Brooks of A Pigeon in Pungo (IG: @shelleybrooksquilt)

"Carnival is a spring fresh array of solid colors that are so sweet you can almost taste them.  Cotton candy, snow cones, and ferris wheels all evoke fun memories and this combo is reminiscent of the colors found at those spring festivals. Ombre shades of pinks and purples paired with light shades of green and blue are balanced out with a silvery grey to create the Carnival palette."

Fabrics (from left): 121-016 Pale Silver, 121-073 Sangria, 121-078 Bubble Gum, 121-069 Carnation, 121-076 Apple Green, 121-040 Bright Aqua, 121-029 Lavender, 121-080 Amethyst

vs.

Tropical Storm

By Anne Sullivan of Play Crafts (IG: @playcrafts)

"After a long winter, I was ready for some bright colors! I paired warm sunset colors with tropical water blues then added two greys for balance. It reminds me of sipping umbrella drinks on the beach during a tropical storm."

Fabrics (from left): 121-013 Teal, 121-039 Jade, 121-058 Gold, 121-054 Tangerine, 121-068 Rosebud, 121-028 Red Violet, 121-090 Smoke, 121-011 Mist

Game 2: Banff National Park vs. Pop of Orchid

Choose your favorite and leave a comment below with the name of the bundle and the name of the bundle creator.

Banff National Park

By Lorna McMahon of Sew Fresh Quilts (IG: @sewfreshquilts)

"I am naturally drawn to a color palette that includes blues and greens. Think cool waters. A lake. And the clear, blue sky. The yellow adds contrast. Think of the warmth of the sunlight and new spring growth. The white and grey additions provide depth. Think of rocky mountains and fluffy, lazy clouds. Picture perfect. Nature."

Fabrics (from top): 121-000 White, 121-005 Bright Yellow, 121-061 Wasabi, 121-062 Pale Aqua, 121-040 Bright Aqua, 121-016 Pale Silver, 121-010 Silver, 121-014 Grey

vs.

Pop of Orchid

by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter (IG: @latenightquilter)

"I'm obsessed with the color wild orchid this year. I can't get it off my mind. I love it most when it appears as a pop of color where you least expect it. So although this palette is comprised of my usual favorites - aqua, teal, blue and gray, the orchid leaps out and demands attention, breathing life into what otherwise would be just an ordinary collection of analogous hues."

Fabrics (from bottom): 121-010 Silver, 121-020 Sky, 121-000 White,  121-013 Teal, 121-024 Orchid, 121-076 Apple Green, 121-062 Pale Aqua, 121-072 Honeydew
