March Madness with Paint Brush Studios 2018



You may also be a basketball fan, but if you're reading this you're also a quilter and a fan of fabric (I mean who isn't). Paintbrush studios is doing this fun event again with 16 paired fabric bundles from 16 unique quilters and designers.


"Cartagena"

Inspiration/story: This bundle reflects the door, window and building colors from a recent trip to Cartagena, Colombia. That city glows with a vibrant Caribbean vibe that is ever so slightly muted by the bright equatorial sun. 

 I used a photograph of one of the many doors from the old city and cut triangles of my fabric choices to make a mini banner to decorate the door, strung with Aurifil 30 weight cotton thread. For a better look at those yummy solids scroll down a bit. (The photo before cropping is at the bottom of this post-no I didn't bring a pretty banner on my trip.)

You can vote once a day in each of the 3 venues.




Pick your favorite color combination and cheer them all the way to the final "game". Voting through the last day puts you in the running for a FQ bundle of the winning fabric. 4 very lucky people will be selected and their winning FQ bundle will come directly from Paintbrush Studio. 
So go ahead and comment here, but remember only the comments on Paintbrush Studios blog, IG and FB accounts "count". 

***Voting runs Sunday, March 18th through Monday, April 1st***


 "Cartagena"

You'll need this visual to VOTE, "beauty" shots will only found on the quilters feeds. 






"The before"
 I don't know, this cracks me up.......

Good Luck everyone
