    A few of us have been talking in the chat about starting a thread where folks could post a pic of that piece of fabric that you bought, put away, and then dug out sometime later, only to think..............why, for the love of Pete did I EVER buy that. Well, here ya go.. I am starting this by sending the world's ugliest piece of fabric to Khan.. Now the one thing I am not doing is posting a pic of it.. I was going to, but I don't want to ruin the surprise....roflol.. I'd love to be a mouse when he opens that Squishy!! and perhaps he will post a pic when he gets it.. so ladies and gents here you go.. I throw down the gauntlet to you.. post your ugly fabrics here.. and find a sucker...........um, I mean talented person who has an idea for a project here. :P

    Tippy, :lol: my only problem is even when we have such swap in my quilting group. I have a hard time finding such a fabric. I don't know if there is a fabric for quilting that I don't like. Even if is one I might not personally have a use for. For instance I recently found a fabic in my stash that says Little League all over it, it is okay not a favorite but can be used for a back of kids quilt should I ever make one. Or prehapes a back for these I spy I have waiting to be made. I am looking forward to seeing what people will post. I didn't post a pic because I haven't taken one. I might consider a swap of the LL fabric, might, we will see if someone is interested? :lol: :roll:

    DebJ I take that challenge. You pm me your address & I bet even you will find this fabric ugly.

    I didn't buy it and I'm wondering why anyone would make it let alone buy it.

    Kwhite, you fiend you!!! I almost snorted soda out my nose when I saw that fabric. Now mind you, I'm a nurse and tend to see shapes of body parts. Take a closer look. :shock: I am still ROTFLMAO.
