The directions to my quilt group were that we had to use the white and the "ugliest fabric in my stash" to make a block. Be honest now, do you think I have a chance to win with my fabric and/or my block? :lol:

I've never heard of any batiks being considered ugly. Beautiful combination, I just don't see any ugly fabric

Great quilt block ... unique and looks nice and crisp with the white and contrast with the print.

Sorry as for me, it's not a winner, as I really like that batik!! :)

Good Luck, and do hope you win!

No ugly fabric there - batiks are just too pretty to be ugly.

Fabaddict 06-04-2011 01:19 PM

I agree - no ugly fabric there. Very nice!!!!

butterflies5518 06-04-2011 01:19 PM

I don't use alot of batiks so for me not my first choice to use but for ugly you have my vote.

CoventryUK 06-04-2011 01:21 PM

Sorry, don't think you'll win, fabrics too pretty!!! Love your block.. is it your own design??

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 06-04-2011 01:22 PM

Nope! You are sure to be a loser. Have you ever looked at the ugliest fabric contests on here? There is some shockingly ugly fabric in the world. I don't love your fabric, but there is some out there that is so-o-o-o much worse.

NancyG 06-04-2011 01:38 PM

Oh, my.....you are going to lose. I love your batiks and the white combo.

Jennifer22206 06-04-2011 01:39 PM

Sorry, I vote for ugly. I don't like batik.

It's a pretty block, like the pattern, but the batik kills it for me.

mcdaniel023 06-04-2011 01:43 PM

Sorry, you are soooo going to lose. That is pretty.

sueisallaboutquilts 06-04-2011 02:04 PM

Sorry to say but I think you are going to lose. I love it!!

KiwiQuilter 06-04-2011 02:09 PM

It is too pretty to be a winner. Sorry.

blueangel 06-04-2011 02:14 PM

It is very pretty.

Vivian Ketron 06-04-2011 02:19 PM

I don't think it is ugly. Think you're going to lose...

ditto

caliquocat 06-04-2011 02:33 PM

Sorry, you are not the winner! The block & fabric are not ugly to me.

SmickChick 06-04-2011 02:35 PM

I love your block, and combination. I would either thread paint, or really embellish the white fabric. I see gaudy sequins and thread painted circles to compliment the batiks. What a cool challenge. There are some really ugly fabrics out there. ...as well as some unbelievably gorgeous prints- what a neet hobby:quilting!!!

twistedstitcher 06-04-2011 02:43 PM

Not a chance, that fabric is far from ugly!

Be prepared not to WIN!!!!!!
I bet you don't have ugly fabric.

dsch 06-04-2011 03:10 PM

Thanks fellow Texan Butterflies 5518! I knew someone would vote for me! :)

Yes, I "created" this block in about 5 minutes, but I do see possibilities that more of them could create.

oma66 06-04-2011 03:22 PM

Sorry, you are not going to win "the ugliest" block, but if they vote on the most beautiful block YOU WIN!!

quiltsillysandi 06-04-2011 03:31 PM

It's quite the opposite of ugly!! Very pretty!

alikat110 06-04-2011 04:28 PM

I thought you said "ugly"fabric

sewgray 06-04-2011 04:31 PM

Nothing ugly there. You are not going to win. I love all batiks.

Sadiemae 06-04-2011 05:39 PM

You have no chance of winning!!!

lisalisa 06-04-2011 05:42 PM

put that one in the keep pile and do another. It's a loser as far as ugly goes

quiltjoey 06-04-2011 05:42 PM

Not a winner. Beautiful batiks! If you have any more "ugly" fabric left, I'd love to take it off your hands! LOL!!!

I agree! Those batiks are beautiful! Sorry, you lose! :cry:

sisLH 06-04-2011 05:56 PM

Once I thouht I had an ugly FQ, so I used part of it in a sample. Guess what? Both my DH and I wished I would've had more -and hadn't wasted any by putting it in a sample!!

scraphq 06-04-2011 06:00 PM

Not a chance! Too pretty.

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 06-04-2011 06:27 PM

Ugly? I don't see ugly. Where is the ugly fabric? I love your beautiful batik fabric. You wind the award for beautiful.

fabric_fancy 06-04-2011 06:52 PM

i don't think you'll win but on the bright side if thats the ugliest fabric in your stash you have a prize winning stash in my book!!!

Aunt Sue 06-04-2011 06:58 PM

Nope not ugly!! Love Batiks!

Lilrain 06-04-2011 07:02 PM

Sorry, not ugly. i am sure there are quilter's with very ugly fabrics. very nice block

TerryQuilter 06-04-2011 07:58 PM

doesn't look ugly to me. . .love batiks ;-)

lovingmama 06-04-2011 08:04 PM

Gorgeous, not ugly!

craftybear 06-04-2011 10:07 PM

great job, love the blocks

justflyingin 06-04-2011 10:15 PM

You did a nice job, and I agree...you MIGHT win...I think these batiks aren't pretty.

Someone gave me similar ones some time ago and I used them up in a scrap quilt.

Other batiks I think CAN be beautiful, however.

So, you'd have my vote. Nice job, though. And you realize the end result isn't ugly, right?
