Game 3:

Cartagena

Stephanie @spontaneousthreads

From top: Tangerine, Clementine, Flan, Lemon Ice, Moss, Beryl, Jade, Fuchsia

This bundle reflects the door, window and building colors from a recent trip to Cartagena, Colombia. That city glows with a vibrant Caribbean vibe that is ever so slightly muted by the bright equatorial sun. 

vs.

Heirloom Opal

Shelley @shelleybrooksquilts

From top: Amethyst, Royal, River, Aruba, Cyan, Honeydew, Apple Green, Android

Have you ever seen an Australian opal?  From a dark background that's maybe black or darkest purple comes flashing bits of color in greens, blues, and turquoise.  It reminds me of the Northern Lights - a phenomena I've never personally seen but would love to.  The beauty of an opal is that you have this miraculous combination of colors and glowing light contained in a piece of jewelry.  Almost makes it seem magical to wear one.  I've been working on a pattern to, hopefully, illustrate the beauty and sparkle.  Check my feed to see how this beautiful stack of colors will be transformed....

Game 2:

Tequila Sunrise

Christine @ccpquilt

From top: Fireworks, Daredevil, Verbena, Poppy Red, Crimson, Claret, Bordeaux, Fuchsia

I’ve always wanted to design a quilt around the soft range of colors from a sunset, tequila sunrise was born out of this desire but constrained with the guiding influence of choosing colors that I do not typically work with. Orange has always been a difficult color for me to embrace but so many influential people in my life live in these vibrant warm tones.

vs.

Lake Tahoe

Cynthia @ahhhquilting

From top: Apple Green, Island, Pale Aqua, Gulfstream, Waterfall, River, Pewter, Gray

My bundle was inspired by a photo I took while visiting Lake Tahoe last fall. The photo was of a row of colorful paddle boards lined up on the shore near a dock.  I chose all the colors directly from the paddle boards, beautiful shades of blues, green and gray.

Game 1:

Tiffany Lights

Linda @flourishingpalms

From top: Dewberry, Aquarius, Beryl, Maize, Poppy Red, Daredevil, Island, Paradise

This bundle is inspired by the colors found in two stained glass color wheels made by the famous designer and artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. These interlocking wheels were placed at the base of a fountain, and as water filled and flowed out of the fountain, the water was infused with an ever-changing rainbow of colored lights.

vs.

Prosecco & Cream by the Sea

Jayne @twiggyandopal

From top: Burnt Sienna, Daredevil, Moss, Linen, Coral, Lipstick, Rosebud, Fuschia

My inspiration for this bundle was a recent trip my daughter and I took to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida. This is a celebration of mother and daughter memories--from the bubbly golden prosecco we popped on our first night, to the delicious ice cream we had every day. The colors engulf you with a relaxing warmth that only a tropical setting in winter could!
