I am sure it has some redeaming features-somewhere-in some quilt-I can also see it as reptile skin-not what I would want in a quilt, though! Yes, it could get lost in a strip/scrappy quilt in small pieces I guess. But it just goes to show any fabric no matter how ugly, has a place in some type of quilt! I think the person who designed this one was an alien on "V"!!
