Here is my Ugly Quilt. Made for my niece. I HATED the background fabric. Wish I'd chosen something else. It was a struggle just to complete it. Hated it so much I quilted it myself cuz I couldn't see spending money to have it quilted. Still gave it to my niece who loved it....that's all that counts. I promised myself to try again someday...when she's older, then I can use the excuse of updating it to her tastes.

If you need a place to sent your ugly quilts, I'll take them. I love them all. The scrappier the better!

Gosh Eddie, I really like it! That bit of white really pops it!
Why didn't you like it? I'll bet the lucky recipient liked it!
You are so good that you can't even MAKE an ugly quilt! 8-)

The more I worked on it the more I disliked the fabric. And I was having a hard time lining up points on it. And every time I look at the white pluses on it they remind of Swiss crosses. I don't like the blue binding I used. I don't like the border. In short, I just hate it. :D

Well, at least you can tell why you don't like it. Many times folks can't articulate the reasons. You still do beautiful work!

It's one of those quilts that you love to hate - I don't want it but I can't bring myself to get rid of it or destroy it :hunf: :?

I like it. :) I think it's rather unique, just like me.
