Rainbow color variety fabric for quilt
I always admire quilts done with a rainbow of colors and have picked a variety of paper pieced patterns for my to do list that require up to 48 different colors fading from dark red through all the colors and ending at purple. I was wondering where is a good source to find color variety fabrics. For those that have tried these types of patterns, what fabric bundles or precuts offered the best variety, colors and quality. Thanks.

I LOVE all those hand dyed bundles at quilt shows, but they can be expensive. Check out Robert Kaufman's Kona cotton- there's an endless variety of color. Remember, the color on out monitor is not necessarily the color of the fabric when it arrives. In person fabric shopping may be required.

All the above are great suggestions. Another possibility would be Simply Color Ombre:

I am making a stained glass wall hanging and got my fabric from afabricoasis.com
The fabric is pricey, but is good if you need a gradient from light to dark. I tried to post a picture, but was unable to.
Good luck, and if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help if I can.
