Hope you like it Robin! Here's my first block that was made from ombre fabric that graduates from dark to very light. It was an experiment that didn't exactly work-lol.
I must say it is prettier in person...I cannot get a good photo with the camera I have. I'm supposed to label this post but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do that! Sorry Allison! Cheery wave from Bev

I would bet that the "problem" (even though I think that the block is gorgeous as is!) is that what our eye sees as a "light" and as a "dark" when the fabric is on its own is not the same as what the fabric actually looks like when put all together. I bought a tool called a "ruby beholder" and it's basically a piece of red plastic that you can look through at two fabrics (or five or twenty) and see which fabrics are a "true light" and a "true dark" and I have also found it to be VERY helpful in achieving color gradiations in quilts between similar colors. I would have two fabrics and think "for SURE this is the light and that is a dark" and then I would look through the ruby beholder and, low and behold (sorry, couldn't resist the pun!) I had it backwards or they were both darks in the same color range! Drats! But it's a very helpful little tool :)
