New fabric line from Robert Kaufman

Here's an intersting new fabric line, from Robert Kaufman, due to be released in the US in June - Quilter's Liinen, which is really 100% cotton. There are previews of the range of colours here, and some photos on Elizabeth Hartman's blog, Oh, Fransson.

What would you use such an addition to the range of "solid" coloured fabrics available for?  Applique backgrounds, in pieced blocks, as sashing in a modern quilt?  Which colours would be your first choice?  I'll be happy to test drive the "taupe" and "grey" for a start .....
