    So I wanted to get my co-workers thoughts on a new group of fabrics... and when I showed them these pictures, all four said "eeeww"! I really kind of liked them (well, maybe not all the grey ones)... but maybe I've just lost my sense of "taste"?

    The group is called "Putting on the Ritz". Some of these would be good for nursery decor, but most of them are not just "baby".

    Help!! What do you think? Do you find any appeal in these? For baby, or otherwise?

    Surely there's some hope for these swirls??

    I like the damask and the swirls.:) The first ones, not so good. :(

    I like the checks, plaid and stripes.:)

    And a few more. The first three look sort of like they're dots on top of nylon netting. (They're not, of course, they're a cotton print.)

    I like them. I probably wouldn't use them as a group in a quilt but I can see them as fillers and backgrounds in conjunction with other fabrics.
