We sometimes get hung up on the creative side of quilting and forget the practical side of it. If it fits it's function and is loved, then it's fulfilled it's purpose. There is nothing better than a quilt that keeps someone warm and comfortable especially if it's ugly. Sometimes ugly means that people are not afraid to cuddle up with the dog, take it on a picnic, stow it in the trunk in case of emergency and it doesn't get any better than that!
