I don't see anything wrong with any of these fabrics. The cardinals are beautiful. Not sure I would try and use all of them in the same quilt, but nevertheless, they are all beautiful. I love the gray!!

I like the fourth one. I wouldn't combine it with the others, but I could see using it as the "white" fabric along with smaller prints of green ivy or trees, red flowers or berries, etc. Or as a shading in among a variety of whites and silvers.

I love # 3 and #4 and think they could look very well in the same quilt. I don't much like any of the others.

Anyone have any ideas, at all?

I like the gray one, too. Sort of looks like "gray-work". I think it could be very nice.

Hi, wish I had seen the fabrics before I finished my birdhouse top. I could have used a block of birds and one of houses. Could have made two tops instead of one with strips Peewee.

I like the silvery gray too. I'd toss in some bright red just as a very small accent. I wouldn't make a whole quilt with it, but maybe some nice sofa pillows (bound in black cording, perhaps) for winter time. But hey, everyone's taste is different.

I liked the grey version. Did NOT like the gold or the third one- colors much too dark. the first is beautiful. There you have it, we all have wide variety tastes and the companies do try to please us all

Honestly, I rather like this one too,,,,,more like a toile......and with the dark gray and white, could be used in black and white quilts.........not everyone has to have red and green at Christmas.......

Yes, what were they thinking...it doesn't go with anything...
Kind Regards,

I love the fourth (grey-scale) fabric but I love the more non-traditional Christmas fabrics with blues, greys, blacks, and silver.
'Course, I also love the real traditional red and green ones too.
Just call me hopeless.
