    I like the ones with the black background and could see them as borders, bindings, and backings.

    Really like the flower ones but would pass on the waves.

    This one is easy for me..I would cut out a square of the dark and light background matching prints, pick out a color I liked best from the palate, then set each square on point,add the solid triangles to the corners, then use the matching wavy to be the sashing, alternating the light and dark centered blocks. I would also bind with the wavy stuff and use a the solid color for a narrow border with the dark for a wider outside border. This would be striking!

    They are pretty fabrics, but don't know how I would use them in a quilt.

    How about a stained glass style with abstract shapes for the black flowered fabric. Love the Idea of using the flowered shapes as a quilting guide too.

    They remind me of my old Spirograph. I think it would be neat to copy one of the designs, enlarge it and then embroider that design on a black background. I'd use the coordinating pieces for every other block, the matching wavy one for a sashing or maybe small border and finish with the large floral looking one for final border. This could be an interesting fabric to play around with. Did you buy some already? What are your plans?

    Love them, always on the look out for contemporary fabrics for those recipients who are not fans of standard florals (young teens, boys).
