    Might not all be my cup of tea but not really ugly. I have found the ugliest, but need to get a pix of it. Just you wait and see.......you might not want to look.



    Edit: What was I thinking??!!?? Oh, yeah, DD needed an african dress for some school thing.
    i like this one.

    And loved it, poor neglected little feller.

    Great job. Maybe by the next time the challenge comes along, I will have an ugly to put in.

    A wonderful lesson in working with scrappy fabric...anything can work. Great job! My hat's off to you!

    this was one of the funniest threads i've read. someone should start another one with another theme, such as the prettiest, the most angular, the most green in the print (along with other colors), food prints, etc.

    Welcome to the board! Get ready, we're going to have another challenge in January. Plenty of time to find the perfect 'ugly'. :shock:
