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.

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

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.
