Sewnsewer, looks like you have quite a thorough quilt inspector. Cute.

I really do like your quilt, too (and the inspector)! Seeing this, I would be more likely to use the term 'gradiated fabric". Ombre to me means a sandy, tan, desert-like color. Thanks for sharing your picture. It really helped!

I think you're thinking of umber. It's a light tan color.

I think ombre in a traditional pieced quilt adds a lot of nice movement.

You might hate ombres Dawn, but you sure know how to use them to great effect!
Even Miss Kitty thinks so.

i recently purchased some to use as color gradated (sp?) fabrics in paper pieced flowers.

Thanks everyone. I just wanted to use it up! I never know what to do with them.

Ombre is another word for "graduated"....

I bought a tone of them from Sew batiks....can't wait to see what I do with them!

Thanks to all of you, I now know that Ombre means a shaded fabric and umber means tan. Plus, I shouldn't be afraid to use ombre fabric in a quilt although it may cost a bit more. You all are a great source of knowledge and thanks to all of you who post here. This is a great resource and I learn so much from it.
