Happy Wednesday, all!
So, my mom–who is an amazing quilter–is making me a quilt for my living room. I have a comfy red chair and sort of a bone color sofa. Last week we went to pick out fabric and found the perfect fabrics! Most of them (all but two) are from a Joel Dewberry Collection. After taking this picture of the fabric, I knew it had to be a Color Inspiration Challenge.
I nearly didn’t post this Color Inspiration Challenge, though. I don’t want any of you to think this is a return to “weekly” color challenges or anything like that. This does not mean “the Color Inspiration Challenge is back.” It’s just me, excited about this color combination, and I wanted to share. So just have fun with it. :)
Since this is a “one off” challenge, this is how the round-up will work: 5 top picks, 10 random picks. And because I just love new music, the creators of the 5 top picks will each receive a $10 iTunes gift certificate. :)
Oh, and if any of you find a spam link, please contact me. Thanks!

Although I’m not participating in the challenge, I’d love to see a photo of the quilt when its done, I love the color combination chosen. Tku!
oh my god are you starting up the colour challenge again I am so in.
sorry guys I got excited, this is not starting again I should have read first…
Ok… thanks for clarifying b/c when I saw your tweet I was like, “She’s baaack!” Lol! Great idea to share this inspiration, though.
Oh, and I’d love to see the finished quilt, too. :) Pretty please!
Love the colors and want to see the quilt too!
your mom should open an etsy quilt shop!!!
wow!!!! love those colors!!!! Thanks for another great challenge! :D
woooooohooooooo!!!
I realize they are not back for good, but once in a while is better than never, right?
Hope I’m able to play!
I’ll definitely particiapte in your challenge. Thanks, Kristina!
Hi Kristina,
Nice to have a new challenge again!!! I am so excited! Great color combination.
I see that you are using Mister Linky. Did you know that there is a new tool much easier and more stable? If you like take a look at http://www.inlinkz.com
Thanks for the referral. I’m looking into inlinkz to see if they can customize it a bit more. :)
Fun! So excited to finally make one of your challenges! I am such a fan! :)
Hee hee, I was so shocked to see a colour challenge that I hit refresh thinking a much older page had loaded. ;-) I’m happy to participate in my very first Colour Inspiration challenge.
Ok, is this a new feature, where you click on the link and it goes to their page and off your page. It doesn’t open up both at the same time. Does that make sense? Anyway, I wasn’t real sure about the colors at first, but after making a card,now I REALLY like them! I hope to post mine tomorrow! Thanks for the color challenge! :)
Never mind, it does go back to your site! Sorry, it just does it different! :)
I really missed your color inspiration challenge, they were so much fun. So thankyou for bringing it back even though it’s only a one off..
Love the idea of this color inspiration, I´ve never tried it before, hope I have time to participate :)
Kristina you are awesome!!!
Like the color inspiration, I am also a quilter and I would love to see the final quilt. I made my card for the challenge and linked it. It was fun to do and love your cards and style and feed back. Thanks for being you.
The fabrics that you have chosen are really pretty ,they all fit together . I would love to see a picture of the quilt when it s done . Thanks for your blog I love it I look at it every week when my kids sleep . Thank you
Gorgeous colors. I hope to link my card tomorrow.
It was fun to once more be inspired by your color challenge, Kristina! Looks like you’re going to receive a beautiful quilt for your living room!
Hi Kristina, I used to use your color combinations for my cards (before I started the world of blogging). It’s great that I can now get to participate in one. It’s a bright and fun color combination. Thanks for the inspiration.
It was so fun to participate in one of your challenges again, Kristina. I really miss them! Thanks for the inspiration. The colors were a little hard to pull together since there were so many of them, but it sure was fun to try!
I really hope to see a picture of the quilt posted when your mom has finished making it. The fabrics are beautiful and I can’t wait to see the outcome!!!
Thank you so much resurecting the colour challenge Kristina even if it is a ‘one off’. It was so fun to participate, the colours were fabulous to work with!
I hope when you see the response you consider bringing them back, maybe once a month ….
Wow! The entries in this challenge are awesome!! I am so impressed with the work everyone has put into these cards. Thanks for sharing ladies.
Thanks for another wonderfully inspirational colour challenge Kristina, I really enjoyed it.
Darn – missed the deadline, but here’s my card:

Kristina:
My heart leaped with joy when I saw the color inspriation challenge. I cannot tell you how much these have inspired me in the past. I completely understand that you have to do what you have to do, but I miss them terribly. I so, so wish you would reconsider bringing them back.
Understanding,
Debi
shoot! wish I had seen this sooner:)
