Which do you like better?

And how would you use them?

I like the black swans better but that said ... I wouldn't have a use for either of them.

I like them both. I would use them as a large border. I think their awesome.

I like the black swans on white. I would make a tote bag and put a thin band of red and then a thicker band of sold black on the top of the bag. I would probably use black handles and line the bag in red.

I like them both! Would they work on a 3-d quilt?

Prefer the black. Would I use them - at some point but would probably buy the fabric to add to stash.

I like them, but I doubt I would use them because I would not want to cut them.

I like them both, though like PPs, I probably would not have a use for them for myself.

My first reaction was ... a shower curtain!
(sorry)

However, I can really see both would make nice backings for a quilt. Fun linings or outsides for purses or for larger bags/totes. Placemats.

I would use either for backing. If they are large enough, sewing around their outlines, you would have an all over, awesome quilting design on the front of the quilt. :D:D:D

I think the white on black are cute but I am not into black and white quilts so I would pass.
