A quilting teacher once said during a scrappy pineapple class, while one of the students was looking through scraps and throwing some pieces aside saying they were too ugly!! Teacher responded with ugly can be very good when making a scrapy quilt, put it in there and see what happens. I think, that was one of the prettiest quilts ever, and when I asked her later about the ugly pieces she commented that they had taken on a whole new look, and now she saw them as beautiful!!
