Mad for Solids: Sweet 16 Day 1

Voting is officially open in our Mad for Solids Bracket! 

Our March Madness features the Painter's Palette Solids collection: 168 different colors of silky smooth, soft 62 square weave solid fabrics.

(Just found us? See the opening post showing all 16 competing bundles and the bracket here.)

Why should you vote for your favorite? 

For a chance to win some of these solids yourself! We'll randomly draw two voters from the Championship game to receive cuts of the winning bundle, so keep voting to help your favorite get to the final! Invite your friends to vote! The designer of the "Favorite Bundle" will receive a fabric prize of solids as well. 

How to vote: Today we're featuring two games. 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, as we have several duplicate names and want to make sure your vote counts. You can also vote on Instagram (@pbstudiofabrics) by leaving a comment. Please vote only once per game on each platform. Voting for these two games is open from  7 am EDT on Monday 3/27 through 6:59 am EDT on Tuesday 3/28. Then the next two games will go live for voting. 

Voting is now closed on these two games. 

After each voting session ends, we'll count up the votes on both the blog and Instagram; we'll update the bracket with an Elite Eight, Final Four, and then Championship game. 

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.

Ocean Sunset

By Cynthia Muir of Ahhh Quilting (@ahhhquilting)

"The inspiration for this actually came from the colors on a little girl’s sun hat. When I put them all together it reminded me of a sunset over the water—the dark blues and grays of the water mixed with the brighter colors of the fading sun against the horizon—yellow, orange, and coral."

Fabrics (clockwise from top): 121-121 Linen, 121-139 Daisy, 121-146 Daredevil, 121-066 Lipstick,
121-026 Navy, 121-036 Colonial Blue, 121-158 Wind, 121-020 Sky

Game 2:

Seychelles 

By Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter and The Quilter's Planner (@latenightquilter)

"Drawing inspiration from fresh peaches, mint and cream, or a bright Coral umbrella on a beach with crystal green waters; this palette infuses energy, light and relaxation into your day."

Fabrics (from top): 121-094 Agave, 121-095 Beryl, 121-102 Limelight, 121-000 White,

vs.

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
