The first set would be the hardest to work with, but the rest all have their uses.

The trick with any fabric is to find a pattern that complements the color and style- a lot of those would lend itself to a fussy-cut or a stack-and-whack method, or a tessellation flower that where all the pieces were fussy-cut to have the same section on them.

They are not so bad, but they all have a theme- bland or plain, or rather, muted- you are missing the bright colors. Mix them with some yellow or eye-popping colors and you will create a contrast for the whole quilt. Again, it's all in how you use these fabrics.

If, in the end, you can't find uses for them, try Bonni hunter's scrap quilt methods- I bet most of those fabrics would produce a stunning quilt once cut up and arranged properly.

Other than the "words" prints, I can picture uses for every one of these fabrics.
