What is a blender (in fabric)?
#33
I believe that a blender is the same as a tonal which if you go look at a line called Moda Marble, those are not a sold but a blend of tones in a particular color. These are tonal fabrics I selected to make a moving neighbor a table runner for her new home. Hope that makes sense.

There is never a stupid question and everyone on this QB is willing to help out with your question. A blender fabric is usually a tone on tone (same color in the fabric but just a small difference in coloring) or a very subtle non-design fabric. It usually compliments your colors you are using in your quilt. There is no distinct design in a blender fabric.

Blender is also the term used to describe those fabrics that smoothly bridge from a fabric of one color/print/value/etc to one with a different color/print/value/etc. In those cases, the blender does not have to be an 'into the background' fabric, it just has to transition you from point A to point B without a jolt. It facilitates the blending of other fabrics.
