Description

Sew modern quilts that illuminate your life with the help of ombr fabrics. Easy large-scale piecing shows the entire ombr gradation, while smaller-pieced quilts let colours dance and glow in hundreds of hues, tints, and tones! With a single fabric containing subtle shifts from pale to dark, colour feels exciting and new again. Jennifer Sampou shows you how to make the fabric work for you, with six brilliant quilt projects featuring her Sky Collection fabric.

Reviews

Ombre fabrics have a graduated colour across the width of the fabric. Dramatic designs are produced with careful cutting and mixing of these fabrics.

Lengths are cut across the fabric (WOF) and the long strips sewn together lengthwise.

All the six projects, quilts and runners, are stunning, especially the 'Whale and I' quilt and feature fabrics from Jennifer's Sky fabric collection.
