i have made a few ombre fabrics- but have not purchased many- they tend to be on the expensive side compared to other quilting fabrics. Lunn Studios also have an ombre line...but i think Nancy Zeiman is the one who first really started showcasing them.

visit Sewing with Nancy- or Nancy's Notions- she has been writing books- using ombre fabrics for a number of years now- not only sells them but shows many ways to use them- they are really not (new) but may be just hitting some markets....used alot in landscape quilting- they are a 'gradated' fabric with 'landscape qualities'

ckcowl described it perfectly. Ombre's have been on the market for quite awhile. They're mainly used in landscape quilts, artsy stuff more than a traditional style quilt. I've not seen them used in quilts like most of us do. I've used them a time or two, but in small stuff.
