tlambing, you did an awesome job. I have to say though, I don't find any of that fabric ugly. I guess to each his own. That is a pretty great pattern you used. I'd say, everything worked out.
I like the idea of everyone using what came in the bag. To see everyone's different takes on the same fabric would sure be fun. Do you auction or donate the quilts afterward? Or is it just to inspire others to move outside their wheelhouse?
