Looking to add depth, drama, and sophistication to your next project? Tim Holtz’s "Palette Teal" collection has just arrived at Artistic Quilts with Colors, and it’s a true gem. This moody, artful fabric line offers layers of texture and tone that will elevate any quilt from beautiful to breathtaking.
Meet the Designer: Tim Holtz
Tim Holtz is no stranger to creative expression. A mixed media artist and designer, Tim is known for his grunge-inspired, vintage-modern aesthetic. His work blends old-world charm with contemporary edge—and in “Palette Teal,” that signature style is on full display.
Expect painterly washes, subtle distressing, and tonal variation that mimics watercolor, ink, and weathered surfaces—all in a deeply soothing teal-based color scheme.
Why “Palette Teal” Is a Must-Have
This collection is a masterclass in tone-on-tone design. The prints work like solids—but with personality. They add visual interest without overwhelming your quilt, making them perfect for backgrounds, borders, sashing, and subtle piecing.
Bonus: The shades of teal, aqua, slate, and gray-blue blend effortlessly with modern or traditional prints, giving you maximum flexibility.
Fabric 101: The Power of Tonal Prints
Tonal fabrics—like those in “Palette Teal”—are a secret weapon in quilting. They add richness and texture while still reading as a single color from a distance. Here's how to use them effectively:
- Pair with bold prints to calm and ground your design.
- Use as background fabric for blocks that need room to shine.
- Mix with low-volumes for a soft, moody look that’s still full of detail.
