Ombre Confetti

A few weeks ago I was in one of my local quilt shops

and saw this new fabric.

On the edge of the bolts it was okay,

but the sales clerk suggested I unroll a bit of the fabric.

Opening the fabric totally changed the look of the fabric.

It was ombre and went from light to dark,

all on the same bolt.

I quickly bought 1/8 of a yard of 8 colorways

and began to think about what to make.

I could cut a 4 1/2" strip from what I purchased

and then subcut those strips into 2 1/2" rectangles.

After pairing each rectangle with a white rectangle,

this is what I have.

Ombre Confetti!

The colors go from light to dark as the pieces

go from top to bottom.

Here is a close-up of the blues.

It went from light to dark from side to side on the bolt.

The colors are bright and deep and fun!

There were a couple of other colorways of the Ombre fabrics

that I didn't purchase.

I've already thought of a quilt to make using the 

gray to black and yellow to orange colorways.

I need to finish the corners

and then the challenge of finding some border fabrics begins.

Maybe a black and white print?

Polka dots?

This will be a bright and colorful baby quilt!
