I see that some of them are from Connecting threads...I have 'em too. Go for it!

use them all together. I recently found some 9 patches that were made at least 40 years ago and I am incorporating them into a quilt utilizing fabrics from then and now just like you are thinking about

I can't tell the difference I would use them all.

Beautiful fabrics! I say "go for it!" :)

I would absolutely use them all! I can't tell the difference from here, and probably couldn't if I had the fabrics in my hand!

Yes, just a few days ago I saw a couple of fabrics at Wal-Mart that had these 1930 vintage looks, so maybe they are coming back, just like cloths styles. If you keep something long enough, it comes back in style.

if they are someone gave them to me, as I don't buy fabric from CT!

ok, for the curious....the vintage ones are the first 10 going from left to right! Starting with the 4 that are just squares and ending with the large blue print!
