I have personally seen some very ugly fabrics used to make quilts and the quilts turned out to be some very ugly quilts!

Somebody told me once that if you think a fabric is ugly, you haven't cut it small enough yet. :)
Shows how a lot of different fabrics come together for a beautiful finish. Your work looks very precise ... was this a PP Pineapple?

After looking at the different fabrics in the ugly fabric challenge, I decided that I really don't have any uglies. Does anyone remember the tiger-snake-lace fiasco? lol

Thank you! Yes, it was paper pieced. I used the fold-and-stitch method, no ripping afterwards. I love paper piecing!

Your work was incredible .... I just started PPing this spring and discovered the precision that it creates. It is fiddly, but well worth it for the results.
