2nd group if you are buying for someone else!

I lean more toward the second group. It is what I'd like for stained glass effect!

OMG sigh....................
I love them but I would choose the first ones,
assortment #37. They have more color, more life. The second set are almost solid and so could be substituted for with other fabric. If I could, I'd buy the entire first set (37)
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

I would use both, but for different reasons! They are all gorgeous (so I am of NO help) LOL!

I like the watercolors. The Mottles are too mottled for me.

I agree - I'd start with something from the first group as a focus fabric, then use complementary or contrasting fabrics from the second group.

Mottles or watercolors?

If I were forced to choose one, I'd take the watercolors. I love them on their own, but I also use them as blenders and "solids".
