    Suggestions for ugly fabrics...

    1. Cut it up - if it's still ugly, cut it smaller.
    2. Use it for backing
    3. Line the inside of a totebag
    4. Sell it on the forum - someone is going to love it!
    5. Give it away.

    cjomamma, I think you are trying really hard to not be the winner. LOL Unless it is ugly in person I kind of like it.

    I love the tied t-shirt piece, and agree the other poor pieces are ugly!
