I never purchase fun fabrics so that would've been a surprise for me, too, but I can see using them for gifts. You will probably have great fun working on them because they are out of the box for you. I love the red bundle. :-)

That's the risk you take with a Mystery!!!

As assortments, I think you have great sets and tghey'd work up nicely. Try working with them .... it's good experience to go outside of your comfort zone.

Worse case scenario ... you'll have something completed to give away to someone who can love it.

Best case scenario ... you'll surprise yourself as to how lovely it is, and won't let anyone have it!

I think the yellow/black pack could make a stunning quilt. Look at the challenge as opportunity ... you may be surprised!

Use a book with patterns for Fat Quarters, and you will be amazed at how
lovely each batch of your fabrics will be in a finished project.
Highly recommend: Fast Quilts From Fat Quarters (Barbara Chainey)
Excellent, simple .....
