I think in the right combination they would look nice. Some would be iffy for me but I think they would make great ladies blankets also as well as baby blankets.

I'm not crazy about the first ones with the writing, but like the rest of them.

I think if you threw in some real contrasting fabrics it would be beautiful. Rather dull with just those colors.

I like them all...but I like all cotton fabric! Each would find its own way into a quilt!
I recently found out that I have blue blood...going all the way back to the King of England...maybe that's why I like them!!!

I like it, I can see using it in a quilt, and for a neat backing for a
baby quilt. It looks very rich looking to me.

Not a big fan of the words. I do like the damask and swirls.

In the "classroom" these are the shy, retiring, kids. Surround them with a few "cheerleaders" and they can become the "resting place" in a beautiful quilt. I see a lot of soft "baby quilts" with happy flowers and animals - NOT the bright, stimulating bold quilts we like to make for babies.
I guess the bottom line is that even the truly "ugly" fabric (which these are not) can find a home in the right quilt.
I see the possibilities.
