Way to go, Margo and Susan! To answer your question about the ombres, I carry bolts from two collections, Gelato from E.E. Schenck, and Grandations II from Benartex. The Gelato ombres are what I used in my quilt "Lustrous Squares," and they are brighter. The Gradations ombres are more organic, less intense.

You can sure see what a difference plain, alternate squares make; they really "air out" the pieced blocks. Making the plain squares the same color and/or value as the background triangles in the pieced blocks make the blocks appear to float (as in the example with the yellow plain squares). I tell my students to consider using plain squares to set off the pieced ones. Adding plain squares makes the quilt go faster, too, and gives you the opportunity for wonderful quilting designs. Too much fun, WAY too much fun!

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Susan, can you show us what the quilt would look like if the alternate blocks were the same yellow as the triangle background?? I'll bet those rolling stars would really pop!

In one quilt, the stars look backlit to me, in the other, all I see is yellow and it is distracting, so position of the block seems important, too. Christine, what brand is the ombre fabric? I'm going to see if I can find some .jpg's of the ombres to add to EQ.

Oh Terrie, I was so impressed that the recipe didn't call for butter; the sconces sounded so healthy! But alas, butter is the key ingredient in so many yummy eats.
