    I too love the black background ones. Pieces of the spirals would add a pop of color to a quilt. The wavy ones hurt my eyes also.

    To start with I would purchase a yard of each and just put them away in my stash. When they are gone, they are gone. Who knows when my mind will all of a sudden remember them and wish I had bought even a FQ.

    That's what I thought! Not crazy about the "slinky" but I would use them in solid blocks and matching colors in a 4P or 9P to alternate.

    I think that I would like to try them on that 10 Minute block . Alternating the flowers and using the wavy one for the center.
    might be cute.

    I like the swirls on black background. They make me happy just to look at them. Not sure how I would use them though.

    Just finished a caterwauling quilt and Nos. 4 & 6 would have been great border complementing fabrics.

    I love them! I would cut them WOF, 3-5" widths - I wouldn't worry about them all being the same width, but would be more "free-form" with it and would not have any strips of the same fabric the same width in the quilt. I would then "square it up" so the strips were going diagonally from corner to corner! They look great in the order you posted them! This would make an interesting wall-hanging or lap quilt.

    They are fabulous! OBW was the first thing I thought of. Of course, I would have to leave them on my table & just look at them & drool for a while.
