Since you asking for opinions, I don't really care for any of them. Just not my cup of tea.

But, I like that you show us fabric and what's coming out. It's like going to a fashion show!

Thank you!

They remind me of a table cloth my GM used to have. Don't think I would use them personally. To retro.

I like the blue backgrounds of the last of "completer sets". I'm not much on floral/paisley types, but I like the checkerboard (crossed lines) kind of complimentary fabrics.

These are beautiful fabrics. They match an antique table cloth I have. Wouldn't they make a beautiful set of curtains.

Love the strawberries and coordinates! My grandmother owns/operates a berry farm, and I've started collecting fabrics to do a wall hanging for her shop. I have a teeny tiny strawberry print and I've had my eye open for a larger one and coordinates...those would be perfect!

They totally give me a "retro" vibe, which is exactly what I'm looking for with this specific project.

I don't care for the blue with the berries. Cannot explain why, it just doesn't appeal to me. I like the green the best.

I think they are really retro looking, reminds me of the 50's and 60's but they are very pretty

Apparently Windham will be offering this collection both as FQ packs and as Fat Rolls.

Why did they have to call them "Fat Rolls"? Couldn't their marketing department have come up with a name that was... less depressing?

Sigh. Now I'm feeling too guilty to walk over to the candy jar.

Wait, I have an idea!

I can order that F... R... and call it a "Strawberry Picnic Roll-up".

Yes, that's EVER so much better! :-)

I really like all of them but mostly the ones with the hearts with the strawberries inside and the kind of lattice looking one and of course the first pic. Very retro. Remind me of cooking with my grandma. If the salesman could provide sample project patterns it would be great.
