“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!"

Choosing Fabric is Fun and Easy with Palette Scout

Match one focal or anchor fabric to the deck, build your palette from there, and start your project with fabrics you feel confident will work together. No more standing in front of your stash feeling stuck.

Questions

What can I use Palette Scout for?

Just about any creative project or decision that involves color! Our customers use it for quilting, knitting, painting, graphic design, interior decorating, cake decorating, floral design, ceramics, and dozens of other disciplines. If color decisions are part of your process, Palette Scout fits right in.

What's the difference between the bundles?

The Quilt Design Bundle is a great place to start — you get the Palette Scout deck and color match guides for Kona Cotton, Pure Solids, Superior Solids, Aurifil Thread, and DMC Embroidery Floss, so you can take your palettes straight to your stash or your local quilt shop. Most customers upgrade to the Quilt Design + Learn Bundle, which adds Sticker Pack and the Color Theory 101 course so you can better understand why certain fabric combinations work.

Can I give a bundle as a gift?

Yes! Purchase the bundle of your choice and give your recipient the physical deck. For the digital components (courses, guides, and swatch files), just email us at hello@zolliemakes.com with your gift recipient's email address after the purchase (so we don't spoil the surprise!). We'll add everything to their account, ready and waiting when they sign up.
