Oh no!! I try to find things without scent or much of it. too many together make a terrible smell.

Wouldn't, couldn't do it. I have a terrible allergy to most fragrances, laundry aids, cleaning agents, candles, potpourri and especially Glade plug ins. Some will put me into a coughing fit that will take me to my knees. I don't go near the aisles in grocery store where they sell any of that stuff. And if I need something unscented that is in those aisles, I get an employee to get it for me. Multiple chemical sensitivity is becoming a major problem causing asthma in many and in all ages. Some fabric stores I can't even go into. So you can believe I'd skip this 'new' idea.

It might not be a bad thing for some batiks. They can really have a bad odor.

No, fragrance is one of my migraine triggers.

Sounds like a migraine to me.

No, would never buy it, I do have a problems with many scents, the artificial chemical ones and certainly wouldn't use that fabric for a child, too many chemicals.

Buying online and not able to pre-sniff. No thanks. The suggestion for an apron--well, maybe. Or for potholders but definitely not in a quilt or something pulled closely.

I would be concerned it would trigger reactions in others that came in contact with it. Nor would I want it in contact with other fabrics or surfaces in my sewing room.

I was thinking it might be nice for potpourri bowls.

Most of my quilting is for charity and scented fabric would not be appropriate. It might do very well for say a bridal shower/wedding gift IF one knew the recipients were not allergic.

I have stopped wearing my colognes and perfumes because there are so many people who have chemical sensitivities. If I want to add scent to something, I would use a natural product IF I knew the receiver would appreciate it. Personally, I have enough trouble finding fresh air to breathe these days.
