Thread: Need Pattern for Ugly Fabric

I can't help it, but when I find fabric at an insane price, I have to buy it. I don't even care what it looks like, I have to bring it home. I found this fabric at an estate sale back in the fall. Over 3 yards for $1.00! Now I don't have a clue what to do with it. Any pattern ideas?

Thanks.

They say to use ugly fabric for OBW or 4PP or SAW!

... you might not have enough variation in the print to have the kaleidos look good.
Count your # of repeats on the side of the fabric .... and check it out with the mirrors.

My thoughts exactly! Even if you just have enough for a wall-hanging. Please post when you use this. And BTW... I'm the same way re fabric!

That is what I would do.

it may work nicely for a one block wonder. or cut it into 5" squares, add 5" solid snowball blocks.
or....
hey the sky's the limit- it's a nice fabric- i can think of a hundred different projects i would use it in.

I think the fabric is beautiful .... but each to his/her own. Breaking it up in either small squares or strips will add color to a quilt.

I think a 4 patch posy would work with this one!
