This week, for you avid Midweek newsletter readers, I am giving you a little sneak peak of a beloved collection we just got back in stock:
Caryl Bryler Fallert-Gentry’s “Gradations”<\/a><\/strong> which is 24 different color combinations of Ombre prints.

If you have ever played around with gradient prints, you know that every cut of these fabrics yields several different colors and\/or values, so one colorway is like 4 or 5 colors or shades. Gradient prints have been embraced by Modern Quilters for the luminous quality they add to a quilt. Contemporary quilters love them because they give a 3-D effect.

We’ve cut all 24 colors into 5″ strips<\/a><\/strong> and packaged them in-house for a palette-stretcher precut that will expand your color options in a heartbeat.

Today I am featuring this delightful quilt from the Maximalism exhibit at QuiltCon. As you may recall, I wrote an article<\/a> about Maximalism awhile back, so I was excited to see this batch of quilts!

This quilt is by Linda Hungerford, and is titled “Feelin’ Groovy<\/a>“. (center image in the collage above.)

Linda writes:

“An abandoned box of already-pieced quarter circle, and triangle-in-a-square blocks triggered this design that needed more. So, to meet a Central Florida MQG Challenge of using half-rectangle triangle (HRT) blocks in a quilt, I made two sizes of them using only stripes and solids.”

Part of what makes this busy quilt so fun and eye-catching is the juxtaposition of Solid Brights<\/a> with Black-and-White stripes<\/a>. For those of you who have attended my trend lectures, you know this Black-and-White-and-Color trend is ongoing and mutating. As a result, we have been expanding our selection of Black and White stripes because they are so fun to work with – give it a try!

If you are looking for more gradient prints, go to our Color Palette<\/a> and scroll down – there are 4 different color categories of these Ombre fabrics.

Be sure to check out my photos from QuiltCon 2024<\/a>!

Sharing your love of fabric…
