It's March Madness time, quilting style :)
Mad for Solids sponsored by @paintbrushstudio starts today. 16 bloggers (including myself) selected a palette from Inspired by Fabric's Painter's Palette Solids. All of the bundles will be shown on Instagram today and the voting will on Inspired by Fabric's blog. Please hop over to their post to see all of the solid palettes and vote for your favorites (there is also a chance for you to win some fabric too!). Each day, voting will be on two palette match-ups, my bundle is up for voting on Monday, April 4th.
I had such fun going through all of their solids and playing with different combinations. I started to chose my palette by selecting some fabrics in a range of from light to dark in my favorite color, blue. To add a little interest I added in some of greens and really liked how they popped against the blues. The palette is is very calming and reminds me of the gentle tide of the ocean, hence the name Ocean Waves.

ReplyDeleteThe competition is on! I love your bundle so much...the blue/green combination is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour grouping is really lovely, Cheryl. As you said, the colors are calming but they also are the bright greens and blues that remind me of the promise in a beautiful spring day.
ReplyDeleteOh, this just says, "Spring!" Fresh green everything, blue skies and the darker blue of the later evening skies. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThose colors look wonderful together Cheryl! It has such a summery feel and I love the way the greens glow in comparison to the peaceful looking blues.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bundle! The voting will be difficult! They are all so nice!
ReplyDeleteNice color value, Cheryl. I will be voting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color choices and perfectly named. I love the white in there too. Julie@thecraftyquilter.com
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful palette which reminds me of the newness of spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful palette. It's hard to go wrong with blue. Green and blue is a color combo I felt was wrong till a couple of years ago after reading a book on color theory, I made a blue and green quilt. Now it's one of my favorite color combinations.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your palette Cheryl. No surprise, as blue and green is my all-time favourite colour combination.
