I must be in the minority - because I really love these fabrics…..I can see using these in a crazy quilt - or in one of the older quilt patterns where we have light backgrounds, and many different medium and dark fabrics as accent pieces. I have a quilt my Grandmother made - and I plan to draft a pattern for a new one just like it, using these Downton Abby prints and a pale muslin colored solid as the background……….
