I love them all. The only thing I don't like is that the snow dots are somewhat elegant (to my eye) and the others are sort of retro/funky. I can't see the snow dots in a quilt with the others, but I guess I'd have a better idea if I saw them in person.

We have some Michael Miller fabrics that are similar from an older collection and we plan to make them into lap quilts for our house for the Christmas season. The pattern we want to use is "It's a Wrap." These would look great in that pattern also.

I like them for reasons of nostalgia. They make me want to sit down and watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas. :lol: They are very much like the wrapping paper I remember from the early 70s.

I guess when it comes to Christmas I like traditional colors the most.
I don't mind these 'spice' colors, but for other projects, not Christmas.
I don't care for the Oreo one either.

They remind me of the background drawings in Mr. Magoo cartoons. ;)

Those last three posted together are so cute! I love them. They would be really something framing up into a christmas embroidery bluework snowman quilt.

I like non-traditional. I've been using pink and baby blue Christmas fabrics in other projects. No one knows the difference.

I also have a nice stash of greens, reds and golds.
