(What is it good for anyway other than their challenge?) I agree with Dawn that one could make a good block from them, as with any "ugly" fabric, but the goodness wouldn't be because of the two colors. Plus my snort at their pretending to blur gender stereotypes while reinforcing them.

Every color has it's place and use, but these two are simply insipid. They lack energy and vitality. They make no statement at all. Trying too hard not to offend, thus saying nothing meaningful.
