This week Lorinda picked Trina's photo NYC. I love the variety of bright colors in this one. I think there were a lot of options and I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with!

I created my palette with Palette Builder 2.1 by Play Crafts.

This week I really wanted to make an effort to include some non-blender fabrics. I ended up with one. I'll call that a partial win. I like that Tree of Life in Cinnamon brings in some of the yellows/golds with the red background. And once I saw the Manuscript print I just had to use it. I really like the lines. Both Manuscript and the Ladder Lines made me think of the lines you see when you're looking at a street full of buildings in New York City.

Solids:
Kona Canary
Kona Sunny
Kona Amber
Kona Cedar
Kona Tomato
Kona Regal

Prints:
Medium Damask in Yellow on White by Riley Blake Designs

This week Trina picked Lorinda's photo of Skywalker. Since I've used green the past two weeks I wanted to avoid that obvious color. I also wanted to avoid brown (sorry, Skywalker!) since I have an aversion to it in quilts. That left me with limited options and I decided to go for this greyscale palette. You could easily add a color (like green), because I think pretty much anything works with a black and white palette.

I love that my fabric picks feature two Alison Glass fabrics (love her work!) and two from Karen's Blueberry Park line (every time I see these I wonder why I don't own more of them!). The Kite Tails fabric reminded me of a country fence. I chose Bergen for the natural shapes and the Grow and Dalmatian prints for their representations of nature. I especially like the butterflies in Grow (again, why don't I own this!?). :-) I think a solid white could be used instead of Ink to give the eye more of a place to rest.

Solids:
Kona White
Kona Ash
Kona Steel
Kona Coal

Another lovely floral photo, Lorinda picked Trina's Tulip Festival photo from Mount Vernon, Washington for this week's photo. I think you'll see my preference for green and purple in my choice of palette again, somewhat similar to what I chose last week. Only one of my solids is actually the same as last week, the Avocado Green. I really had to resist using the same fabric I chose last time. (Bonus: This photo/palette also fits in with my #purplesewingchallenge for the month.)

I feel like my fabrics are a little nutty. I chose that adorable tadpole fabric first. Thinking they look like little fish, I thought I might try to lean ocean (hence the anchors). In the end I really struggled with the light green, looking for the right color and wanting a larger scale print. Next time, my goal is going to be to start with a multi-colored print containing colors from my palette. I just really love my blenders!

Solids:
Kona Bone
Kona Tarragon
Kona Avocado
Kona Pewter
Kona Garnet
Kona Windsor
Kona White

Prints:
Hatch in Bone by Timeless Treasures
Rhino in Green by Firetrail Designs, Andover
Painters Canvas in Bottle by Laura Gunn, Michael Miller
Elemental in Charcoal by Hawthorne Threads
Tadpoles in Cabernet by Amy Butler, Westminster/Free Spirit
Anchors Away in Navy by Sarah Jane, Michael Miller
Arrowheads in Azalea by Hawthorne Threads
