“Love it!”
My friends daughter is having a baby at the end of the month. I needed to make a baby quilt ASAP. I asked the nursery theme and my friend sent a photo of the room. Using the colors in the nursery, I built a color palette and took my cards to the fabric store. I selected 9 fabrics in record time and am so happy with the quilt. Zollie gave me such confidence putting the colors together. Can’t wait to use it with the next project!!"

“So many uses! These are really helpful.”
Trying to design a quilt, I used these cards to choose not only the colors I love, but then took them to the fabric store and was able to match colors there as well! Love the endless opportunities these cards and the helpful info on them will provide!

“Wow! A Quilter’s Joy For Sure!”
Just received my Palette Scout in the mail and I’m over the moon! As a quilter I’m always looking for new color palettes and it’s easy to get stuck in a rut — I’ve purchased so many color theory helpers, and to be honest, I didn’t have high hopes that this would be much different, but I was so wrong! High-quality product, easy, and fun to use!"

I have a big stash and this will help me coordinate the fabrics that I have.
I love the organization of the palette!
Used this product several times when needing help coordinating fabric for a quilt.
Love using the cards.
I have used this tool to help me get out of my favorite color zone and I LOVE the results!!!
It was easy to use . Highly recommend it.
Not what I thought it was going to be. I thought there would’ve been so many more colors and ways to explore color. I’m a retired school teacher and was excited about experimenting more than what I actually got.
