My ombré gem blocks are coming together quite nicely! I love these colors too. I thought they’d be a lot harder to put together, but they come together surprisingly fast! I might be able to even stay on track with the QAL! 🙊 😂😂😂#ombregemsquiltalong

Thought I had the perfect layout… But I’m one quarter block short…. Bah! This is what I get for trying to make it work with one jelly roll and not cutting into any extra #vandcoombre. Now what do I do? I’ve tried several other layouts. Make an all white one? #heathersnackssewing #ombregemsquiltalong

How cool is Asha’s ombré Gems Quilt?! I was blown away by her version! This is the alternate layout with less blocks. #Repost @ashapatel with @repostapp ・・・ I started and finished @ashley_serenity graduation gift @sewsouthretreat this past weekend and I’m so happy with the way it turned out! Thanks for hosting the #ombregemsquiltalong @emily_dennis_ 💜 Pattern: Ombré Gems by @emily_dennis_ / Fabric: @vchristenson Ombre by @modafabrics.
