i have two pieces, but have not decided how to use them. they are very pretty, and were not more expensive. they are warming my stash!

I would think Ombres would be an ideal choice for 3D effect quilts like Karen Comb's quilts of illusion patterns.

I LOVE Ombre fabrics (I like the one Caryl Bryer Fallert makes for Bernatex)
But I really have no idea how to use them. I think they do work really well for art quilting (see Fallert's work!), but with piecing I don't really know the best way to make use of the gradation.

Oh those are yummy!! I have some ombre -- bought it after seeing a Sewing With Nancy show about working with ombre. I have not used them as yet, but I am thinking hard about a pattern.
