Give classic gingham a fresh twist using the stunning color transitions of Gelato Ombre fabric! In this vibrant and technique-packed class, you’ll learn how to transform ombre fabric into a beautifully blended gingham layout using 2-1/2” squares. Quilt designer Michelle Freedman will guide you through smart tips for working with selvage-to-selvage ombres — including how to identify and pair the subtle color shifts to create a plaid effect that pops. You’ll explore layout strategies, options for strip piecing, and how to use a pre-printed fusible grid for fast, accurate placement.

Whether you're a color lover or just ombre-curious, this workshop offers a fun and friendly space to explore shading, fabric prep, and piecing techniques. Students will leave with their gingham pressed to a grid and full instructions for finishing it up at home. Come ready to play with color and leave inspired to see ombre in a whole new light!
