    If I could afford them, I would buy any fabrics Hoffman makes!! Almost worth the price just to feel the fabric--it is so wonderful!
    Some sort of "artsy" quilt, possibly a wall quilt, would be stunning out of your fabrics. Go for it. :thumbup:

    I would definitely buy them, especially the first ones, the flowers ones. The wavy ones I would keep a lot smaller cuts. I could see the flowers as a border on a colorful blocks quilt. I also love different colors in a binding fabric. I love the look it gives to have the binding show different colors. Have fun with them.

    Beautiful Slinkys..... I would use them as a focus fabric and the squiggly, as a border. Fun to try lineing those up.

    They would make some really cool purses. Absolutely funky. I shop on your site and the service is great. Roz

    Definitely would not buy the white background. if you like that kind of pattern (and I do !) the black is most useful.
    borders & bindings especially !

    The dark prints I would probably use in borders, or sashing.
    Also might use it as large block.
    Don't know how it would work in HST's

    I do prefer the dark prints over the light.

    I absolutely love them and would buy all of them. They remind me of the old spirograph patterns that I used to make with my spirograph when I was a teenager. The colours are great.

    I could for sure see me buying the fabrics!! I love them all and I am thinking that a simple pattern of the 2 light ones would make my daughter just dance with excitement!! She may never let go of it!!
