Color Palette Pro Badge

About the Badge

The Color Palette Pro Badge is about building confidence with color without needing a full art degree or a dramatic fainting couch. This badge invites you to explore color theory, notice what draws your eye, and practice turning inspiration into fabric choices that feel intentional and exciting.

Badge Requirements

• Learn the basics of color theory, including value, contrast, color temperature, and common palette types.
• Create at least three fabric palettes using different sources of inspiration, such as a photo, a mood, a favorite place, a season, or a color theory prompt.
• Arrange your fabrics physically or digitally to test how the colors work together.
• Choose one palette to use in a block, mock-up, mini project, or full quilt plan.
• Make a short note about what worked, what surprised you, or what you would adjust next time.

Badge Options

Choose the version that fits your badge-collecting style.

Embroidered Patch

The embroidered Quiltbound badge is made with high-quality embroidery on a twill backing and measures 2" x 2".

This patch is designed to be sewn on, so you can attach it to a quilted tote, project pouch, denim jacket, badge banner, or wherever you’re keeping track of your quilting adventures.

Please note: this is not an iron-on patch.

Vinyl Sticker

The vinyl sticker version measures 2" x 2" and is a fun, easy way to celebrate your badge without picking up a needle.

Add it to a water bottle, laptop, sewing machine case, notebook, project bin, or anywhere you want a little Quiltbound trail marker.

Patch + Sticker Bundle

Can’t pick between the patch and sticker? Honestly, same.

The bundle includes both the embroidered patch and the vinyl sticker, so you can sew one onto your favorite project bag and stick the other wherever it brings you joy. Tiny badge dopamine, basically.

A Little Badge Note

These badges are meant to be earned, collected, and celebrated. Whether you’re learning a new technique, finishing a long-lost project, or trying something that feels just a tiny bit outside your comfort zone, your badge is a small but mighty reminder that you took the scenic route and did the thing.
