Mad for Solids: Elite Eight Day 2

It's the second day of our Elite Eight voting! Check out the bundles below and vote in the comments; you can also vote a second time on Instagram (@pbstudiofabrics). Have fun!


Our event features 16 designers' carefully chosen palettes from the Painter's Palette Solids collection, competing in a bracket like basketball's March Madness. 

The fabrics? 168 different colors of silky smooth, soft 62 square weave solid fabrics. See them all here.

(Just found us? See the opening post showing all 16 competing bundles and the bracket here. See details on how to vote at the bottom of this post.)


Game 1: 
Pull the Stars from the Sky
By Shelby Marie Skumanich (@godshomemovies)

"This bundle was inspired by images of galaxies and the night sky. I chose tones of blues and purples, added black to deepen the palette and selected a pale silver and pale yellow-gold as the lightest values. The title is a line from a Nine Inch Nails song that I've always loved. The fabrics, combined with others, will eventually be used to make a log cabin quilt. The centers will be small, representing the stars and the dark colored logs will vary in size, so the stars will be scattered across a rich, dark background."
Fabrics (from top): 121-004 Ebony, 121-001 Midnight, 121-161 Abyss, 121-050 Cadet,
121-080 Amethyst, 121-046 Royalty, 121-017 Honeycomb,121-104 Aluminum

vs.

Colorado Spring
By Stephanie Ruyle of Spontaneous Threads (@spontaneousthreads)

"These are the colors that greet me every spring. The multitude of purple crocus, and the yellow green leaf buds against the vast blue Colorado sky."
Fabrics (from top): Violet 121-149, Grape 121-151, Lemon Ice 121-087, Wasabi 121-061,
Aruba 121-100, Cyan 121-098, Poseidon 121-137, Abyss 121-161
Game 2:
Spring Lichen
By Jayne Willis of Twiggy and Opal (@twiggyandopal)

"Bye Bye Winter…Hello Spring! One of the first signs of Spring is the soft, delicate lichen that grows around the big tree in my backyard. If you look closely you can see an array of colors that only nature has to offer. That is until I picked this bundle of fabric! The different shades of green are most prominent in Lichen, yet there is are subtle shades of blue and teal. My bundle is all about Nature…Natural ombre colors!"
Fabrics (from left): 121-101 Azure, 121-100 Aruba, 121-000 White, 121-102 Lime Light,
121-088 Lime Mist, 121-094 Agave, 121-095 Beryl, 121-039 Jade     

vs.

Kona Sunset
By Sheri Cifaldi Morrill of Whole Circle Studio (@wholecirclestudio)

"Inspired by colorful sunsets over the ocean coast of the Big Island, Hawaii, I selected this tropical color palette."
Fabrics (from top): 121-028 Fuchsia, 121-068 Rosebud, 121-118 Verbena,  121-005 Bright Yellow,
121-100 Aruba, 121-062 Pale Aqua, 121-138 Gulf Stream, 121-013 Teal
