Since the question was "What do you do with fabric in your stash that you despise?" Then your answer is you make chenille out of it? Clever woman!

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.

I make quilts for my fur babys! They do not mind!

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.

My sewing guild has a sale every year, I rent a space, and sell all my stash that I no longer like and am scratching my head wondering why did I buy THAT!

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.

Yep, I cut it up and use in a scrap quilt. Sometimes I will also donate to goodwill or I give to a friend who can gets creative with it. Never goes to waste.

Ditto - cut into small enough pieces and you won't enough notice it!

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.
