Thank you for posting photos of your lovely, "ugly" quilts. I enjoyed watching the video of the process. I like your idea of using fabrics with a theme, such as your fish and seashell quilts. I would like to try this pattern with my collection of Christmas fabrics.

I think I may have seen that video, too. Perhaps by Karen Brown of Just Get it Done? The topic was all about weeding out old stash, especially those "what was I thinking?" fabrics that now just take up space in our drawers and cabinets. She had a very quick stack and cut method.

Fun, fun, fun. What a good way to to use those pieces that just don't fit in to other quilting projects. May have to investigate. I have a bunch of pieces that look like fruit, apples, berries, etc that need to go away purposefully from my stash. This just might work.

Great idea! But I think I would have to put a plain sashing between the blocks just to give my eyes a rest! I'm sure I even have to directions (or template for the cuts??) someplace in my pattern binder.

nonnie60--I recall that term and I used Christmas fabrics to cut a star quilt. I really like it and have it in my holiday tote to display each year.
I also recall seeing a heart shape about the same time.
