The Color Edit: Valentine’s Edition
The Color Edit
Welcome to The Color Edit - a space dedicated to reimagining Eudaimonia Studio quilt patterns through the transformative power of color. With each edition, we’ll explore how a thoughtfully curated palette can completely shift the mood of a design…whether inspired by the seasons, a holiday, or simply a new creative perspective. Consider this an invitation to look at familiar patterns in an unfamiliar way - celebrating color, embracing creativity, and finding the confidence to experiment. Our hope is that these palettes spark fresh inspiration and encourage you to make each quilt uniquely your own!
Valentine’s Inspiration
This Valentine’s Day, I wanted to go beyond the classic reds and pinks and explore how color can tell a story! By mixing unexpected hues like soft blues, rich purples, and even hints of gold, this palette brings a fresh perspective to a familiar holiday.
The Color Palettes
Below, you’ll find a selection of Valentine’s Day inspired color palettes paired with some of our favorite quilt patterns! For each quilt, we’ve used Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Solids, but these palettes are just as inspiring for any fabric line you love. Since Eudaimonia Studio patterns are available in PreQuilt, you can experiment freely and play with color to your heart’s content!
