Interesting conversation on sour fabrics. I have a special box for "the uglies", there are always a few duds in a fat quarter bundle, maybe to round out the numbers, I don't know. Anyway, I like to use them to make trial blocks before starting in on the good fabrics. There are other things too, weird ideas I get in the middle of the night, etc. I call it my quilt lab time. Messing about with the uglies means no guilt; you can whack it up, sew whatever, find out that didn't work, and then chuck it out with a clear conscious. Or save the winners with notes about the construction method used, etc.
