Mad For Solids ~ March Madness

When I was asked if I would like to participate in Paintbrush Studio's March Madness event, I jumped!  

Inspired By Fabric Blog
Painter's Pallet Solids is a new line of 84 colors, all gorgeous and the quality is really amazing!  I had the pleasure of working with these fabrics in the recent New Block Blog Hop, and I can assure you the fabric is wonderful!  This is my kind of March Madness...as I am 'Mad For Solids'!



Each of the sixteen bloggers were asked to pick our ideal color palette from the Painter's Palette Solids.  We were provided a fat quarter bundle of our picks and asked to photograph, name the bundle and say why we picked those colors.  

Today, we post our photos on Instagram with all the info and start the games of 'competing' against the other bloggers on the Inspired By Fabric Blog.  The winner will receive one yard of each of the colors in our bundles.

But...there will be prizes for voters as well!  There will be two 1-yard cuts from the winning bundle!  The 'Bundle Bracket' voting will be held at the Inspired By Fabric Blog.  Please play along...hop over the their blog and vote! 

WILD DANDELION
I named my bundle 'WILD DANDELION'.  You are probably wondering where the heck that came from?!

I've always thought of dandelions as the first show of Spring.  From golden golds to yellow, they command attention.  This bundle was inspired by dandelions against the evening sky at dusk. Dusky Spring evenings are plain and simply...magical!

I  love the bright yellow of dandelions, and watching them transform to a big fluffy puff ball! We may not like them in our lawns, but there is no denying that those bright spots of color are welcome after a long winter.   

Flying Geese?
From left to right, the colors are:
Bronze
Gold
Pencil Yellow
Citrus
Pale Silver
Daydream
Haze
Mahogany



I had so much fun photographing this bundle!  I kind of went a little crazy!


I want to thank Cindy who blogs @ Live A Colorful Life.  She was the one who hooked me up with this March Madness Event.  

And of course, a big thank you to Lisa who invited me to join the other 16 bloggers for this March Madness extravaganza! 

There is going to be some stiff competition and I have my game face on!  But, I will need your help!  I would love your vote!!    

Round one starts tomorrow (3/31), my bundle is in round two (4/1)... April Fools Day!

  6. Argh! The competition is stiff! Being a voter is not going to be easy in this game. But for the record, I am in love with your bundle, Jayne. Why is Dutchman's Puzzle flying about my brain in this colorway?
