Color Play Friday - EMP

Hi everyone!

I can't believe it's already Friday! I feel like every Friday I'm sort of bewildered that the week is over. Where did it go? I still have things to do! I still have quilts to sew!

One of the best things about Fridays is #ColorPlayFriday!!! I love playing along with hosts Trina of In an Otter Life and Lorinda of Laurel, Poppy and Pine. Every week they select one of their own photographs and then all the participants of CPF create a color palette and bundle based on the photo. Let me just say, these ladies take some fantastic photos, like the photo for this week.

This amazing photo was taken by Lorinda. It is the EMP Building in Seattle. A trip here has been added to my bucket list! Bonus: You can see the reflection of the Space Needle.

Here is my palette/bundle for the week.

I'm happy to say that this week's palette/bundle came easy to me. Some weeks I struggle with finding just the right colors and fabrics but this week everything seemed to fall into place. This also happens to be one of my favorite color palettes/bundles so far. Maybe that's why it was so much easier this week...

I picked a lot of geometrics and blenders this week to complement the gorgeous building. Any Frank O. Gehry fans out there?

I "shopped" at Hawthorne Threads again this week. Here are my fabric choices:

Wordfind in Navy by Melody Miller for Cotton+Steel

Stripe in Indigo by Camelot Cottons

Patches in Gray by Modern Quilt Studio for Andover

Prisma Element in Apricot Sunstone by Art Gallery

Dash in Orange by Dear Stella

Sacred Seeds in Tigerlily By April Rhodes for Art Gallery

Cross in Red Orange by Alisse Courter for Camelot Cottons

Glitz in Red by Revive for Timeless Treasures

I really love how the fabrics work and play together. And of course, now I really want this bundle. Lol!
