Several patterns I am considering on making calls for tone on tone fabric. What is that and where might I get it. Margie

like white on white, blk on blk, red, red

Here's a link to some pictures of basic and blender fabrics. You should be able to find them in any quilt shop or many online stores.

Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa. Tone on tone means, dark red on a lighter red; white on white, dark blue on light blue, etc. All fabric stores have tone on tone or blenders. Looking forward to seeing your project (smile).

Tone-on-tone can also be lighter on darker, not just darker on lighter. It's any fabric in which there is a print of different tints (white added), shades (black added) and/or tones (gray added) of the same hue (aka color). In other words, a monochromatic piece of fabric that is not a solid.

It can be most colors with the almost same shades but usually when I have a pattern that calls for tone on tones I usually use white shades of tonals. Just my preference. I have seen it done with many other ways though. :)
