Crispy...no worries, one of mine seemed suddenly less orange as well when next to the others. They will all be used. I have a project in mind for mine when they get here. I'll pull out the charms that will work for that and the rest will go into my (very full) 5" square box to be used in some future project. I'm always amazed at how good it all looks once a quilt is done when you use 50-100 fabrics together. The quirky ones add the character that keep it from being boring.
