I really like the saying...use what you have. My daughter just shakes her head at my collection of fabric. I am sure she is thinking she and her brothers will inherit it one day. I can imagine them taking it all to the dump.

The really strange thing about ugly fabric is no one agrees on the definition. I have seen fabric so ugly I thought it was a joke, yet other quilters loved it.
I don't suppose I'd give away ugly fabric either unless someone happened to see it and said they liked it.
There was at one time an ugly fabric contest here on the board. That was pretty funny. You had to wonder who designed some of that stuff.

I have no idea(??) where some of this fabric came from that I have..NO WAY, I purchased it! Anyway, what I use it for is to practice some blocks I never did before. Funny thing..last block I practiced, I ended up loving!! and made my Aunt a lap quilt.

Bonnie Hunter says there is no ugly fabric! You just aren't cutting it small enough. Check out her www.quiltville.com site for wonderful scrappy quilts.

Your definition of ugly will not be tha same as someone else's. that has been proven on this quilting board many times. M. The group that I am in inherited some pretty ugly fabrics- we have cut them into strips and made string type quilts- they turn out beautiful. Not to tell you what to do with your stuff, but if you posted pictures of your stash that you despise, I'd be willing to bet that someone here would like it! You could always cut up old clothes for your paint rags of mops.
