    I don't think they are bad at all. I think what I would do is fussy cut the trees and towers into 6/12 in square and then border them with the prints, and maybe trim it all in red.

    I think the first three would make a great d9p.....The design in the first two is called Fleur de leis...

    I like them....maybe some blocks with tea cups...bistro tables... appliqued ladies with parasols...I think it would make up really Cute Quilt!

    [that's what I see looking at these fabrics]

    Strip quilting could look good with these fabrics cut into strips. Hexagons would also work.

    Here's my suggestion. Pattern will be the snowball block. Use the Eiffel tower pieces for alternating snowballs. Use the fleur d lei (BTW, I flunked spelling in school) for the corners. You'll have to cut them on point ------carefully so the finished corners figures are top toward the middle. Then use the flower pot piece as your inner border with the fleur de lei pieces as additonal borders
