Ugly Pie... So very sad..
So I tried to decide what to make with my ugly fabric. The print looks like a whole bunch of really tiny cherrys in my humble opinion. So the lil light bulb in my head remembered some paper pieced pie patterns I had tucked away. I was very pleased with the way my Pies turned out.. my problems started as I tried to find fabrics to go with my ugly fabric. After auditioning fabrics from my stash I found a yellow that didnt look too bad. I used all of the ugly fabric in the framing and as the backing for my project. I then machine quilted it I was happy with the way the machine quilting went. Then I was trying to figure out what color to use for the binding. I have most FQ's in my stash so hubby and I went to JoAnn's with the "Ugly Pie Wall Hanging" to find a suitable binding. I was thinking a light brown maybe.. My husband liked the yellow you see. I have it tacked on only at the moment.. Im not convinced. Hubby has fallen in love with this Pie project and wants to hang them in the kitchen. At this point Im just saying UGH!! So if anyone has suggestions on colors for the binding I would be greatful. I had also tried a white binding and it was UGH! As well. Help Help... Im losing the battle with this ugly fabric project
