I must admit it, I’m very partial to sets of gradation fabrics. You can see it in the Miss Hannah quilt above. My new favorite place to buy these sets is from Janet A. Smith at textileart.com. These fabrics hold up to starch and press appliqué beautifully. The fabric is very easy to sew through and the colors are great.
Here is an up close of the pinks.
Here are some fall colors I picked up for a new fall project.
Lovely Lovely Lovely.
Oh, what lovely colours!! Can't wait to see what your magic fingers will turn them into...

Erin, thanks for the source for the color graded fabrics. I was actually on line this weekend trying to find a source for them. Perfect! Can't wait to see what's coming in the fall....

I love them! Then I wouldn't have to make a decision about what matches/looks good!

Glad to hear you like Janet's fabrics. She is a friend of mine and I've used her hand dyes for many years and can vouch for their color fastness, ease of use. I, too, like her gradations. I also love your applique designs!

I am looking for fabrics that fade from dark to light(or vice versa) horizontally.

Can anyone please tell me where I can buy gradated fabrics which go from very light to medium to dark across the width of the fabric in the same colour in different colours.
I had some in purple designed by the Kesslers for Andover Fanrics so am looking for something similar.
