It's no secret that my favorite color is purple. That's probably what drew me in to participating this week. I decided on a variety of purples and couldn't resist the grey and black from the cup. The real decision was in how to limit to 8 colors for the palette. I wanted to include the white, red and blue. In the end I opted in include the white and blue. Sorry, red.
I just couldn't resist using a unicorn fabric. I'm sorry that it's currently out of stock at Stash Fabrics (where I linked to it), but it is around for purchase still. I'm curious how many others will choose it this week. I liked that the black fabric has circles that remind me of the rings left by a coffee cup. Now I'm kinda itching to work with this color palette. I'll have to remember to come back to this when I need a new project. ;-)
I created my palette with Palette Builder 2.1 by Play Crafts.

Post authorThanks, Lorinda. It would be fun to play with. I've picked another palette this week that I want to work with, too (from my son's t-shirt). Now to finish some existing WIPs. :-)

Ohhh, this is AMAZING! I guess I'm biased (purple) but you really did a great job combining these specific colors.
sarah
Post authorThanks, Jess. This was a fun one!
Bo Brackmann
yeah, how do you narrow this down to eight picks?!! Nice choices to choose from.

Post authorI almost chose a "white" that had a bit of red in it... to fit in the color I dropped, but in the end I decided I liked this one better. Thanks for visiting, Bo.
Sarah @ 123quilt
Hahaha. I knew you would be all about the purple this week! :) Your bundle is amazing and I love the black fabric with the "coffee cup rings."

Post authorI am a little predictable. ;-) Thanks for visiting, Sarah!
