The block for the month of May, called “May Flowers,” makes good use of a fabric style called “Ombre’.” Ombre’ has gradations of color in layers through the fabric. A good example of this is seen in the ‘Gradations’ collection by Caryl Bryer Fallert. If you place the petals in a similar position throughout the shading of the fabric, as they are sewn onto the block they give a beautiful effect.
