Two comments:
1. I recently pulled out some ugly fabric to test the various HST methods, and I learned that ugly fabric makes for great HSTs! Really. I had no idea. So now I know what to do with fabric I never thought I'd use, other than for testing things on.
2. Re: Orange = Ugly. While orange has never been part of my stash (til recently), I needed some for an orange quilt, so did some trades here and got donated oranges. Some of you may have seen this, but I couldn't help but cross-posting given the "ugly orange" thread...
