They're just little ugly duckling getting ready to turn into swans! I have some real uglies that I'm working into cat quilt for my DGD. One actually looks almost like her "Nala" who passed a few years ago. You ca turn them into appliques also.

I cut mine up into 5" squares and use them in Pat Speth's Nickel Quilts. She has patterns and books on her website. You would be amazed how great your "uglies" turn out in one of her scrappy quilts. Her patterns are so fun and easy.

I am always amazed that what is "ugly" to one person is not for another. So, I believe anything goes.....Scrappy is a wonderful way to use up something you hate! Just remember that someone will love it! Makes it go a lot easier......

Right now I'm working on Scrappy Trips blocks from Bonnie Hunter and intentionally pulled ugly fabric from my stash. Otherwise I knew I would never use it.
