Any suggestions on what kind of quilt I could make with them that would lessen the ugly when mixed together with the other scraps and remnants I have? Is there a particular pattern any of you use to make something worthwhile from fabric you just aren't crazy about? HELP!
What about cutting all into strips like a jelly roll and make the quilt we saw here for the jelly roll race (probably not the right name, but anyway). I know the strips would be shorter, but it would be the same principle. You might like it so much you won't want to give it away.
