How wonderful that they still have it on a bed. What a great story and memory for them. I don't think I could have made anything like that around either of mine. They probably would have been asking who it was for.

I am not a very expierienced quilter, I have made one block quilt for my grandson's crib. I have made a few puff quilts which I have gotten better at. I have yet to try quilting, and I want to do a small lap quilt for starters. I got a kick out of these quilts, but, then I also see creativity in them. I admit, I would never be happy with something like that and more or less would probably stick it in a bag in the back of my closet, but, it was an attempt. Still got me laughing though. I just could not stop with that christmas cow chip!!!
Have a great day all.
Keep smiling

Wow :shock: Some of those are just... bad... They needed to stop and take a minute, learn a lesson... wow...

Like they called it... "Worst Quilt Contest"...

I'm so new to quilting that most of these looked just fine to me (gulp!).

One of them mentioned puckered binding. It made me race to check the table runner I did in my beginner's quilting class. I can proudly say my binding isn't puckered, no matter what-all else is wrong with it. (And there's plenty wrong, from the chubby binding mitered corners to a bow-legged sashing, to widow's peaks on my quilt-stitch corners.)

I wonder how much real effort and seriousness was put into those quilts, I hope I'm laughing with them, not at them.

I especially loved the gold one-- made of drapery fabric- so heavy it could hardly be lifted-- and then she made her prom dress out of that fabric!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love, love, love to see that prom dress. Bet there wasn't much dancing that night.

That's the first thing on my mind when I saw that..."what the heck did that prom dress look like???" It must have been hideous. Perhaps there is an Ugliest Prom Dress contest that she got an award for too. :lol:

Thanks for sharing this site. I laughed until I hurt, and felt ever so much better about my own quilting attempts. Some of these were so bad I wondered if they were done on purpose for the contest!

Goodness, I laughed till I cried. :D My favorite was the Chronologically Challenged quilter who only got August in the right spot on her calendar quilt. :mrgreen:
