I decided to make a scrap quilt and put a variety of fabrics: calico, juvenile, solids, etc. and found that too much of everything made an ugly quilt. I thought of putting colorful sashing and matching border to solidify the quilt. What do you think....how do I save an ugly quilt?

Please show us a picture ... and ideas will flow!!!

You'll be surprised how that ugly duckling can turn into a fine specimen!!!

I think colorful sashing and matching border would work. A picture would be helpful. It can't be THAT ugly.

Someone is sure to think it is not ugly

I've included a picture at the top of my post.

I think sashing in a color you like will make all the difference.

sashing will help...it looks like an I spy quilt..its cute

that is NOT ugly, but sashingand borders will make it outstandng

If that's ugly, then all my quilts are ugly. That's what I do all the time. Am doing a D9P with mixed fabrics. Have to sew the blocks into rows, but laid out the blocks and I like it.

I think yours looks great. Just frame it with a border of a strong color and your blocks will blend.

I think it looks great. i would use a narrow navy sashing.
