They all look so real - I like the first one best.

I bought fabric #1 and it isn't for potato bags. I am using this fabric to make my DH a quilt using the BQ pattern. We are potato seed growers and my husband eats, breathes and lives potatoes every day. He is always complaining that I make "too many works of beauty for others" so this quilt will be all his and I'm pretty sure that there will be no others like it!

I've always thought that the potato fabrics would be perfect for making a quilt for a "couch potato".

Let's see... you could combine it with potato chip fabric, French Fries fabric... maybe a creamy ivory blender that looks like mashed potatoes... ?

I like the first one... the second one looks dull and the third one makes the potatoes look dirty.....

RJR fabric for richness of color

Fabri-Quilt Potato Fabric for size of print (I, personally, like a bit smaller print) and color is more true to real

Timeless Treasure a bit pale and not as rich as RJR

IMHO!!
