Mad for Solids: Sweet Sixteen Day 2

Vote today in our Mad for Solids Bracket! 

Our event features 16 designers' carefully chosen palettes from the Painter's Palette Solids collection, competing in a bracket like basketball's March Madness. 

The fabrics? 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.)

Game 1:

Escape

by Stephanie Peterson of Peas in a Pod (@stephiepeterson)

"I chose these colors based on a color palette of pan pastels I ordered several years ago.  As I was choosing the colors, I got a feeling of sipping pina coladas on a beach.  I started singing, "If you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain..."  You know the song, right?  I know.  It will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.  You're welcome.  Anyway, I started thinking of a beach escape and sipping a nice blended drink--that served as my color inspiration....beach, water, citrus....  Meet me 'at a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape!'"

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."

Game 2: 

City Nights

Anne Sullivan of Play Crafts (@playcrafts)

"I attempted to capture the colors, vibrancy, and richness of city life at night without being completely literal."

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!"
