    Okay here is mine. Even my DH & DS agreed it was ugly. The colors remind me of all the lovely colors you find in a diaper LOL. Did I buy this, and if so, what for???????

    Lauriejo that's not ugly at all. So far I have found 4 that would be great in a quilt together, all the others well umm not!!! I bet a string quilt would hide some of the ugliness going on here.

    I agree w/cjo on this one, it's not too bad. I would probably buy this one pre-clearance with a nice coordinating fabric.

    Yep, it's do-able in my book.

    I like the O & M suicide fabric...my daughter would think that is really retro looking and have me make a bag or something! LOL
    This is gonna be a great challenge...good luck (or should I say bad luck?) to all of you who are brave enough to enter!

    And Lauriejo, I think yours looks kinda Civil War- ish. I kinda like it.

    OK, so I didn't intentionally buy this but it was a donation, and you can probably guess why. I can't imagine what the person was thinking -- curtains, chaircovers, dogbeds??? Anyway, it's definitely vintage 50's trying to look cool with that splash of color (light blue) to be oh-so-designer chic. Long live the 50's.

    Gee -- it looks so much better here. I guess you have to see it in real life to really appreciate it fully.

    Creative Seamstress -- In looking back over the other entries, yours brings to mind "Vlad the Impaler" -- it raally is nitemarish. I think you have me beat.
