The first set is pretty plain, but might make good background

I like all the pinks and blues, but not the grays.

I'd never use grey for a baby----and probably not pink and blue either; I'm a "brights" person. However, I like all but the top set as the others said, to use with other fabrics. Especially like the plaids, ticking and checks. The dot/net---not too much but it might be nice contrast in a scrappy quilt.

I like them all - and they would be fun to play with, figuring out which ones to put together, depending on who the quilt was for and how you wanted it to "read." Definitely not an "eeewww" in my book.

I think with the right pattern they could look really elegant. Many times when you look at the fabrics alone, they do not reflect what the whole will look like when finished. I know sometimes when people on the board post unfinished things or a block, I wonder what they were thinking. When they post the finished quilt it is beautiful. Don't doubt yourself based on what others think. It is your quilt and your vision. Good luck and I will be watching to see what you do.

I like some of them. It's definately not what I would consider baby fabric. Seems like nowadays they are getting away from the baby styles and into the "decorator" lines where every thing for baby has to co-ordinate.

I like the swirl and floral patterns, and the stripes are OK too, but not so much the crown and word fabrics.

Very interesting fabrics! The crowns don't do a thing for me, but the rest, to me are "go with" fabrics. Would not buy yardage because they turned me on,but certainly would chose some for blenders.
