I really like the reds & yellows!! The kiddie prints would be good for a baby quilt! I guess that's the chance you take when it's a Mystery!
You can always resell them on here, lol!

My hubby thinks I should think outside the box...and make them all...I guess it will be sorta fun to see who I can gift the quilts to. At least they are all from a LQS so the quality is really good. I am now thinking they may not be so bad...for gifts that is... LOL ; )

I like them but each to our own. I always worry about "mystery" stuff. If they're afraid to show it then you've just got to wonder how bad it is.

I love getting mystery packs of fabric. It forces me to use colors and designs that I ordinarily would not buy. They make great charity quilts. I am not big on orientals, but after getting a few in a surprise pack they are starting to grow on me. Just have fun using them.

i like most of what you received. you always take a chance on mystery items. but the good thing about quilting is... you can cut it up into pieces and mix it with others and it turns into something entirely different.
