Quilt Tip: Use Ombre Fabrics as Color Teacher

I recently took a longer color class from Jennifer Sampou, and it was eye opening for me. My most recent quilt project gave me a chance to use what I learned.  I signed up for a Quilt Challenge with my local Guild that used two pieces of fabric for the quilt.  Unfortunately, I had nothing in my stash to match it.  Then I remembered my Jennifer Sampou Ombre's and problem solved!  I compared the challenge fabrics to my ombres and I am quite happy with the results.  The Ombres's as a background fabric added so much.  I challenge to you give it a try too!
