I am not a fan of Cutthroat Kitchen but I would certainly watch "Cutthroat Quilters". Think I would pick ugly fabric to make it more interesting especially if had t swap with someone who had really nice fabric. Reminds me of a game I have seen on a couple quilt shows, maybe Eleanor's. Each person has a yard of fabric or so but same amount, they pass it on to the onenext to them and sometimes back and forth etc. Then they had to make something with the fabrics they had. They also cut the fabric. Can't rmember the game for the life of me but it was funny.
