I read somewhere that you use ugly fabrics in a quilt. If they are still ugly you didn't cut them small enough! HA I think there is some truth to that.

Putting it in the trash is a sin and I would hesitate to dump it on another quilter (do we ever say no to fabric?) and it seems uncharitable to put it in a charity/thrift shop. So was I pleased when I spotted this! http://stashmanicure.blogspot.com/20...ly-fabric.html http://www.unrulyquilter.com/tutorials/ |

I sure could not use any fabric for planting in my garden.. I think there would always be a better use for it..even the local charity thrift shop where someone will find it and love their bargain..

Thanks for both links--I do have some older ones that aren't ugly, they just make me think, "what was I going to do with THAT! And I must have had a plan or a good sale, cuz I bought BIG pieces.(lol)

I've got the winner at my house. It is UUUUUUUUUGGGLLLLLLLLLLYYYY!!!

Please semd a picture of your ugly fabric. I have some "ugly" fabric my SIL gave me and I know someone would love it. I gave away 6 full bolts a few years ago, but kept some. It is western and southwestern themed and just not what I am interested in now. Now really ugly, just not interesting to me at this time. Maybe I should list it for sale. Maybe you should list yours. One man's treasure and all that.
