One more:
I scored this 1980's or 1990's beige, tan, and blue herb-and-nut print on eBay. It's not the kind of thing I would normally pick but I kind of like fruit and nut prints, and it looks summery.

Much as I like it, though, I could never inflict it on one of my 1940's patterns, so I think I'll use it for Butterick 9579 (1959 or 1960), which is a back-wrapped apron dress (version A, the pink one at lower left):
