To me the key is your opening statement, "today I had fun". Obviously your choice of fabrics contributed to that fun-not sure what prompted it, 1) these are a reflection of your "dare to be different approach to fabric selection, 2) "you saw them and desired to make something for Christmas completely different than what you already have, or 3) you saw them and your inner sewer started dancing the "that's what I'm talkin' about!" Jig-whatever the reason they make you happy, and that is what's important! Enjoy!
