I really do like your quilt, too (and the inspector)! Seeing this, I would be more likely to use the term 'gradiated fabric". Ombre to me means a sandy, tan, desert-like color. Thanks for sharing your picture. It really helped!

I think you're thinking of umber. It's a light tan color.

Even Miss Kitty thinks so.
i recently purchased some to use as color gradated (sp?) fabrics in paper pieced flowers.

Thanks to all of you, I now know that Ombre means a shaded fabric and umber means tan. Plus, I shouldn't be afraid to use ombre fabric in a quilt although it may cost a bit more. You all are a great source of knowledge and thanks to all of you who post here. This is a great resource and I learn so much from it.
