    I looked through all 6 pages of pictures, and I didn't find a truly ugly quilt there. Each has its own charm.

    I've also looked at all the pages so far and was expecting something to jump out at me! I'm still waiting to see a really ugly quilt!

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...ugly goes all the way to the bone!! :lol: :lol:

    I like the well used green one. Your kids didn't think it
    was ugly. I kinda liked it too. The others I did not care
    for but that doesn't mean they are ugly. They're not.
    I agree with the others, finish it and donate it to a homeless
    shelter where it will be much appreciated. I loved Ditters
    saying about beauty and ugly!

    Love all the colors. If it's not your style I am sure a nursing home or Veterans home would love it to use for a quilt or lap throw! Every quilt top has a use and needs a home!

    It is rather pretty and certainly original.

    I see no "ugly" quilts. When I have a loud or overpowering combination I complete the quilt and use dark bias binding 1/2" wide as dividers down and across. It works for me.

    I don't know Sharon. I think it's kinda' cute. Colorful bow-ties against a striking black background. I'm still waiting for ugly, too.

    Oooh. I have a contender. This was known in our family as The Ugly Baby Quilt. It was like the old maid card in a recent White Elephant Gift Exchange. I know some kind soul here will see some charm in it, but really, let's be honest. It's Ugly.

    Oh crud. Now I can't find a photo. Not sure which camera it was on. But trust me, it's ugly. I'll post when I find it.

    I too really like it! I love scrappy quilts and old quilts. This makes me think of both. If it needs a home feel free to send it my way!
