We love color, I love color, you love color...what a celebration of color, and of Robert Kaufman's amazing selection of Kona Cotton Solids. Words can't describe my love for these fabrics, and all the choices of color that are available. And, while it seems too good to be true they RK is introducing 28 new colors...be still my heart!
One of the new colors is Wisteria...I love it!
How would you use this color? Something totally Springy I think!
My favorite Kona color is Cerise...or Cherry in French...fitting, don't you think?
The quilt that I created for We Love Color is called Centered, a very sentimental story about my life years ago. While I don't have any sneak peaks for you (I'm out of state visiting a brand new grandbaby), I promise it is worth tracking down the book to take a look.
Where do you find inspiration for color? For me...it is everything, and everything! Leave a comment, and on June 18th I will have a giveawsay for a copy of We Love Color, and a bundle of the new colors!!!
xoxo,
Cherri
Congratulations on the new grandbaby.Flowers,and seeing other quilts.Thanks for the chance!

Cerise is a great color! I get most of my inspiration from abstract art books.

I find inspiration for color everywhere: outdoors in nature, looking at photographs, going into a quilt shop and seeing the fabric sorted by colors--and a myriad of other places!
Posted by: Pauline | June 15, 2012 at 03:17 PM
I love Cerise too! It might be perfect for a quilt I'm making.
Posted by: Janet | June 15, 2012 at 04:09 PM
I find my color inspirations from movie posters! There always seem to be a "hot" color with the summer blockbuster season and I get excited about THAT color.
Would love to win this book. Thanks

I usually find my color inspiration on the Internet...design seeds, Pinterest, Flickr, and quilting blogs. :)
Posted by: Angie | June 15, 2012 at 08:31 PM
I find inspiration from just about anything. I might see a grey bucket sitting on the green lawn with a blue bird sitting near-by and have to run and find me some paper to get a plan written down.

People watching on the street always gives me new ideas for color combinations. This book looks so lovely...thanks for the giveaway!

Fabric and yarn shops, a handfull of pebbles, a bouquet of flowers, autum leaves, fruitsalad, a dress, my grandsons drawings, landscapes, bookcovers. In short everything I can look at inspires me.

My inspiration for color comes from the country life I live...from the soft light of breaking dawn light to the muted worn grey of the barnboards to the peonies in my flower bed!
Posted by: Shelley dionne | June 16, 2012 at 04:36 PM
Lovely giveaway!
Posted by: Julie | June 16, 2012 at 04:44 PM
Inspiration comes from looking out my window...the forest, the sunsets, the deer eating my flowers (that no longer exist); flower gardens and paintings. I love colour!!
Posted by: Teresa | June 16, 2012 at 04:53 PM
Your favourite colour is beautiful, Cherri. I get my inspiration from looking out my window as I sit at my sewing table. I live in the middle of a 15 acre paddock in South East Queensland, Australia and can see the brilliant Australian blue sky, grass waving in the breeze, trees, birds, and my clothes line! Love your work (and Lizzy's too).
Posted by: Pam M | June 16, 2012 at 06:31 PM
I find color inspiration everywhere. But I love finding photos of quilts on flickr that combine colors I would never have thought to put together in a million years!
Posted by: Pat V. | June 17, 2012 at 01:51 AM
I have always loved nature, however recently I have found so much inspiration at different blogs.
Thanks!
Posted by: Anne Rita | June 17, 2012 at 03:36 AM
My inspiration for color is found in others inspirations...a flower garden that someone else designed, a picture that someone else painted, raw nature that God created. For me, color inspiration is connection. Thanks for this offer and congrats on the new family addition! Babies are so wonderful!
Posted by: Donna Cheyne | June 17, 2012 at 07:57 AM
I often go to Farmer's Markets in the Summer to find inspiration! Fresh produce with bright vibrant colors!
Posted by: Joelle Lamberton | June 17, 2012 at 08:40 AM
I find inspiration in all the quilting blogs I follow! Thank you for the giveaway!
Posted by: Amy | June 17, 2012 at 08:43 AM
I find color inspiration in construction sites, vegetable gardens, and sunsets. The Hubble telescope provides color inspiration from the photos it takes of the wonders of space! I find inspiration in space and here on earth! !
Posted by: Sewsewbecky | June 17, 2012 at 07:08 PM
I find color inspiration anywhere and everywhere. Most recently I was inspired by the colors in an ice cream shoppe and just finished the "ice cream quilt" this afternoon.

I usually go to the color palettes found in nature - when you really look, you can find some amazing colors.

I love that Cerise is your favorite color :)
Posted by: Melissa Corry | June 18, 2012 at 04:36 PM
I find inspiration for color in almost everything. I even dream in color and have awakened at night with the vision of a color which I write down and then I go in search of it when I shop online or at LQS
Posted by: Jeanne G | July 10, 2012 at 08:44 PM
I am really very much excited to see what will they produce but i can guess that whatever they produce will be fantastic as usual.
