(No; I didnt buy it....well I didnt pick it out!!! It was in a bag of 1/2 yards that I bought when a quilt shop in our area went out of business!
I took the pics with my phone and they arent very good. It isnt stained (or bleeding) like it looks!!!!

Darn, I had two pieces to choose from. Wish I had taken the other. :cry:

I like most of the ones posted.I just found this thread. I always go for the underdog.I love the bags. I guess it's true beauty is in the eye of the beholder.I only use one eye maybe that's why I like them.LOL

Well, I agree Shawnemily-it really is pretty ugly! Looks like a man's shirt from the 70's-but maybe cut into teeny tiny bits with other less "beauty challenged" fabrics, it will take on a new light-I said---maybe!

Poker Diva- your's is a bit less "beauty challenged", but runs a close second-however, I love the burst of colors-maybe a OBW???

Cjomamma, I like yours!! Reminds me of really gawdy flocked wallpaper in a bordello! LOL - (not that I have seen the insides of one, mind you!!!) I'm not saying I would ever use it though!

I've been there and done that myself! I do believe your fabric wins out as the ugliest one...but you know that the smaller you cut the fabric, the prettier it gets!

Or maybe the more wine you drink, the better it looks--until the morning, though!

No offence, but I agree.

None taken!!!

My youngest son would love that for boxer shorts.

Well, at least it would be kept under wraps!! How old is he?

C Cal Quilt Girl, I do like yours-It reminds me of stained glass-at least the colors go together! You could almost use it whole, add a border and just quilt the design-Actually, it would be a great practice piece for learning machine quilting, or practicing hand-quilting. Sorry, I sort of do like it!!

My thoughts too! Bob Dylan on the record player, and cheese fondue!
