I think they are very retro looking. They remind me of pictures I have from the 50s when I was a kid. I like them. I don't buy Christmas fabric. But if I were making a quilt for someone else I would love to use these.

EWWW. I love cranberry and forest and REAL colors (lol) and being almost fifty am stuck on my opinion. I do not care for the retro look.. that looks like etta ames style.. vintage. I collect the old table cloths from the 50s and and when you go just towards the end of the 50's to the 60's the designs and colors shifted in that direction. Blicko is all I have to say. BUT as the old saying goes, there is a rear for every chair and surely it will appeal to a whole lot of people.

Let's face it guys, there are only so many ways a poinsettia, Christmas tree etc, can be portrayed before we're all chiming in... "I already have that or something like it!" And companies can't sell the same old stuff forever.
I've noticed that the 70's seems to be a really popular retro look right now and those fabrics remind me of that time in my life. If I were making table runners or other Christmas projects for my 24 year old daughter and her loft style home, I'd consider this stuff... I truly would. It just won't find a place here in my country casual home!
