There is a big difference between supposedly ugly quilt (fabrics/colors/design/layout combinations) and poorly made substandard stuff. I made a top once with teacup and teapot fabric that I found to be atrocious when done. I donated it to community service at the guild and the ladies there made a downright wonderful top with pieces of my atrocity. (It was easy to recognize in the show and tell segment). So my ugly became a viable product. I would never give things that are poorly made because I would like to think that people in need of donations would benefit from something well done and pretty.
