Hi, Can anyone tell me what Tonal fabric is? I want to do the Black Tie quilt pattern for a wedding gift. It calls for red, white, black and tan Tonal material.

Definition: The term tone on tone refers to a printed fabric that is made by combining different shades and tones of the same color. Tone on tone fabrics often appear to be solid when viewed from a distance, but their printed motifs become recognizable on closer inspection.
Tone on tone fabrics are popular with quilters, because they add subtle, visual texture to a quilt without the busy-ness of a multicolor print.

it is two or more values of the same color over printed giving a mottled look. Not a solid but value shades of the same color.

Thanks for your help. Will be fun now to look for the material I want for the quilt. Thanks again
