    Colorwise, those three fabrics go together well.

    Texturewise - not so much, IMO.

    I could see them in three different items, used in the same room. I don't think I would put them all in the same item.

    But these are your fabrics and your projects - soooooo - it is what appeals to you, that matters.

    I'd add some tone-on-tone reds and also creams/neutrals, so your quilt is not overwhelmed with prints.

    Very pretty fabrics, whatever you do with them!

    They are so beautiful and Christmassy. If you can't find a quilt pattern, I had a similar cardinal fabric and made lots of potholders for Christmas presents. They would also make beautiful reversible placemats with coordinating napkins.

    I think all 3 fabrics are beautiful. I think the snowflake and ribbon fabrics both look great with the cardinal fabric, however, I do not think the greens between the snowflake and ribbon fabrics look good together. I would do a window quilt (black for window trim), cardinals outside, and either fabric for the wallpaper inside. Just my opinion. It'll be great whatever you use.

    or this pattern, again with the cardinal fabric on back and the ribbon fabric as a boarder:

    I saw the cardinal fabric done in the attic window pattern before. Really cute.

    This fabric is beautiful! No matter what you decide to make with it, you can't go wrong.
