I love Trina's pic for this week's photo, and not just because it fits in with my #purplesewingchallenge for the month. This is Lorinda's photo, Hydrangea. I challenged myself to use more than five colors this week and started with a variety of purples. I created my palette with Palette Builder 2.1 by Play Crafts. I realize that I continue to stick mostly to blenders, but I'm happy with the variety of patterns in these fabrics. My mom has a purple and green room in her house, so this palette reminds me of that room.

Solids:
Kona Purple
Kona Dark Violet
Kona Lilac
Kona Pansy
Kona Avocado
Kona Bonsai
Kona Titanium

Prints:
Floral Burst in Purple by Sarah Watson, Cloud 9
Dalmation in Geranium by Karen Lewis, Robert Kaufman
Rosette in Lilac by Alisse Courter, Camelot Cottons
Pearl Bracelet in Lilac by Lizzy House, Andover
Ta Dot in Moss by Michael Miller
Tonal Floral in Green by LB Krueger, Wyndham Fabrics
Allotments in Shadow by Karen Lewis, Robert Kaufman

I'm happy to be joining Lorinda and Trina for their Color Play Friday this week! This week's photo, Jetty Sunset, was taken by Lorinda. My job was to create a palette using colors from the photo and create a bundle of 5-8 fabrics inspired by my palette. You can find the full rules on their blogs (links below). None of us saw each other's selections in advance of our posts. I look forward to seeing the different interpretations from this beautiful photo.

I used Palette Builder 2.1 by Play Crafts to select my colors and determine the coordinating Kona solids. Then I surfed around some of my favorite fabric sites to find the coordinating prints.

Solids:
Kona Nautical
Kona Windsor
Kona Titanium
Kona Maize
Kona White

Prints:
Braidy in Navy by Rashida Coleman-Hale, Cotton + Steel
Block Party by Sew Caroline, Art Gallery
Swiss Dots in Gray by Riley Blake Designs
Lulabelle Petal in Yellow by Dodi Lee Poulsen, Riley Blake Designs
Handwriting in Silver White by Zen Chic, Moda
