Hi Ladies - I've been totally enjoying lurking and looking at all the lovely quilts you've made from these ugly fabrics! Last year, I participated in a similar swap/challenge on this board - we posted pictures of our uglies, then voted on the ugliest. The winner then received ALL the uglies and had to make a quilt. Guess who won?? (Yep, me.) If you didn't see the quilt when I posted it last year, here it is again...you can make lemonade from lemons! Great jobs to you all!

Debka,
That quilt really came together nicely. It is cool! I remember the voodoo girl fabric, and the green Elvis from the board last year. Thanks for hanging out with us!

Jennicky.....how about this 1/2 yard for your binding? (And your welcome to this 14"x17" scrap of the ugly too.)

Well, we must be the queens of ugly fabric, since no one has posted a picture of the pieces we sent :D

There haven't been any posts for a few days. Is everyone busy? I would love to know who got my "ugly" and what they plan to do with it. I have the main part of a baby size quilt done with mine. Just need to organize the borders and put them on. I'll post pictures when I am finished.

I finally got this done! I am calling it Cubs on Acid because it sorta looks like the Chicago Cubs thingy! Its still ugly!

OMG -- that's the fabric I sent. My son-in-law, a true Cubs fan, would be devastated if he saw that picture -- especially since the fabric came from his mother!!! Anyway, I really like the results. Very contemporary. Great job! You have far more imagination that I ever could have!!!

I haven't had a chance to sew my ugly yet, but it's coming up to the top of the list. As soon as I finish a couple swap blocks and a t-shirt quilt for graduation gift next month.
