    There may be more where that came from. I had to decide between a green Elvis or a purple king kong.

    Husband said the airplane might be a spitfire. Spit. Fire. Both sound like good options.
    I like your fabric, I don't think it's really ugly.

    Ha ha! Strangely enough I like your "bird droppings" :)

    personally ... I have a loathing for pretty much all of the "novelty" fabrics. I'll bet I could make something that *I* would like out of bird droppings and voodoo ladies (actually ... those two fabrics would be interesting together), but I just can't bring myself to like novelty.

    If the third option was bamboo shoots under the fingernails, I'd have chosen that.

    Not too bad Debbieoh. I would buy it, but it would have to be on clearance! I'll buy just about any fabric on clearance, no matter how ugly, in limited amounts.

    I think we must all have a fabric in our stash, that we are ashamed of buying. Those totes are a great idea, thanks.

    I tried to put them all in one spot last year, but it wouldn't work, so someone did it for me. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out by the 14th. :shock:

    Just had a thought, some of those would look okay as binding, you know, so that you can't see the whole print = )

    Except Elvis. Those little green heads would ride the binding wave and make me seasick.
