What was she thinking :)

Combine it with other colors and use it in a log cabin quilt. I took all my ugly (don't know why I bought them) colors and made quilt to donate. My husband (Devin) saw it and said, "That's gorgeous - you're not giving that away are you?" So, I added big borders and it's now on our queen sized bed - with a label that says "Devin's Charity". I love now - it's was like an ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan.

Those colors blended together with a little addition would make a beautiful Jelly Roll Quilt. The only thing I would do is cut the Jelly Roll strips into 10 inch strips, then sew back together with
with a solid color piece 4 inches long, each strp wound then be 57 inches long. Sew strips together randomly until you reach 60 inches long. Your piece would be 57 x 60 inches, a great size for a youth quilt or add a border of plain brown or a double b order with 52o of the colorsd for a larger Quilt.

Any way, i opened said package-most of it is colors that i will use-navy purple black cream. And then i got to the jelly roll lol. I had decided that I would like to try the striptwist quilt on Quitlville. So got out the jelly roll. It is brown flowers, pink and white paisley, lime green brown paisley and a combination strip. OMG!!!! My sister has impecable taste most of the time-this time it was all in her mouth. I will post pics when it is done but just might qualify for the world's ugliest quilt.
