I may have posted these comments...anyway, I bought several yards of this fabric from a thrift store...for the past 3 years I have shared fabric with four others here at the life care retirement center, The Waterford in Juno Beach FL...this year the women were not thrilled with the ugly fabric...but they agreed...the quilts that they made will be displayed a our annual Mothers' Day art show...always fun to see how others used their fabric with obw...Hattie

I agree, wish you would have shared a photo of the original ugly fabric, LOL, one person's ugly is another person's 'like'

Oh you DID post the original fabric on page 5, and I have to say that I do not think it is ugly ... no I wouldn't purchase it for making a regular quilt, but I would purchase a small amount to use for fussy cutting for fabric postcards, LOL

I agree not necessarily an ugly fabric, but to me it had limited possibilities. And I love what you have done with it. Thanks for sharing the quilt and original fabric.
