For those of us who fuss (fret) with color choices, this is intriguing.

i have made a few ombre fabrics- but have not purchased many- they tend to be on the expensive side compared to other quilting fabrics. Lunn Studios also have an ombre line...but i think Nancy Zeiman is the one who first really started showcasing them. |

visit Sewing with Nancy- or Nancy's Notions- she has been writing books- using ombre fabrics for a number of years now- not only sells them but shows many ways to use them- they are really not (new) but may be just hitting some markets....used alot in landscape quilting- they are a 'gradated' fabric with 'landscape qualities'

I have never used them, but maybe one of these days.

ckcowl described it perfectly. Ombre's have been on the market for quite awhile. They're mainly used in landscape quilts, artsy stuff more than a traditional style quilt. I've not seen them used in quilts like most of us do. I've used them a time or two, but in small stuff.

me either never heard of them

Ombre is fabric that has colors going from light to dark. Blending from salvage to salvage.
