Our quilt guild recently had an ugly quilt project. We each gathered our ugliest material and or stuff we were tired of and put them in a lunch sized sack. At one of our meetings we each got a sack by the number method. As they came in, they got a number and then we picked a number and matched the sack. The idea was to take it home and we had about 6 months to make something with it. 4 weeks ago at our regular meeting we brought them back and auctioned them off. We had small quilts, purses, tote bags, table runners and done lady made a yo-yo doll. We raised almost $300. 00 for our guild. We had a blast doing it. It stretched our creative juices and made some really nice things. I forgot to add that you could add to your collection of uglies if you wished to. I personally put the ones that didn't really fit on the back. I'm sorry I was so long winded.
