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 until one of the bundles is named the winner.
The event started Monday and my bundle is in the "game" today. You have 3 ways to vote (you can vote in one or all of the ways):
I had such fun going through all of their solids and playing with different combinations.
My launching point for this bundle was spring and the Easter holiday. We had a cold winter (by South Carolina standards) and I was more than ready to start picking some bright and happy colors to welcome spring. My colors were...
049 Coral
062 Pale Aqua
054 Tangerine
002 Crimson
068 Rosebud
072 Honeydew
165 Paradise
050 Cadet
I have been doing a lot of paper piecing so I thought that making a fun spring mini would be a great little project to break up the paper piecing and use these great colors.
I used my daughter's art book to trace out some different shaped flowers in each of the colors and centered them on some Painter's Palette Solid in white. Then I added dense quilting over the flowers in both directions with some wider spaced quilting in the border areas.
I have decided to gift the mini quilt to my coworker who's husband is battling leukemia right now. She deserves something bright and happy right now.
The bundle with the most votes advances to the next level so please vote (remember, one vote per social media site so you can vote 3 times)
