March Madness - Mad for Solids 2017

It's March Madness time, quilting style :)  

PB Studio Fabrics is sponsoring a fun game called Mad for Solids.  16 bloggers (including myself) selected a palette of 8 colors from Inspired by Fabric's Painter's Palette Solids and then the bundles complete head to head with other bundles for the most votes (on the Inspired by Fabric's blog) until one of the bundles is named the winner.  

The event started Monday and my bundle is in one of the "games" today.  To see the bundles and vote for your favorite, simply hop over to  Inspired by Fabric's blog.  

I had such fun going through all of their solids and playing with different combinations.  

My launching point for this bundle were the beautiful blush colors in the Painter's Palette color card.  From there I selected two blues to compliment the blush fabrics and pulled in some grays and soft white to ground the collection.  I really like to pick bundles with a good mix of lights and darks.  

The colors from left to right:

Smoke 090

Pewter 172

Marine 110

Aquarius 109

Lipstick 066

Verbena 118

Salmon 117

Rice Paper 099

Here is my color palette, called Blushing Blue

Abby the cat says "Vote for Blushing Blue

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.
