I didn't know that site still existed! I remember seeing it back in 1995-1997 with the Worst Quilt contest....I remember laughing so hard I cried...thanks for bringing back a good memory!

Cute website!

Haven't looked there for a while....at a glance some of them look not too bad...the names are fantastic...still can't get over "Putrid Polyester".

Thanks for the reminder and a good laugh.

Lol! I guess mine aren't so bad after all!

These are great..

Now I don't feel so bad about my first quilts :lol: :lol:

Loved it, thanks.

Wow...my ugly quilt wouldn't stand a chance in this contest. :thumbup:

Golly, I feel like I probably could have my own quilt show, I'm so good next to these! Can't get over "Kitty in the Blender" (will never forget that title!) or the stuffed butt in "Quiltergeist" (the stuff of nightmares).

LOL!

I'm feeling better about my quilts already. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Me Too!!!!!

Wow, makes me want to hide my quilts. Thanks SharonAnne, enjoyed it.

blessings,
Ruth

wow! that sure makes me feel better about mine! :-D

They are marvelous. Hopefully the quilters found better material supply and joined a group or better yet found a teacher. My first out loud enjoyable laughter came with the Krazy Calendar. The migrating batting thru the flannel was just too painful! How brave of the quilters to share their grief. Glad I did not start quilting in the 70's.

That one called a trip around the sheep pen was hilarious!

Now I don't feel so bad about my bad one!!!

Yes, I thought that one was the funniest thing ever until I got to Fibers from Within, and ultimately It's Already a Turkey.

I'm in my office laughing out loud, and am afraid security will be here soon to escort me out.

Boy did I need that website. Makes all my quilts look really great.

How about the turkey one stuffed with used bread wrappers. Where do they come up with these ideas?

Thanks, they are really a scream!!

I adored the Bulgarian Blunder..am still giggling at the calm comment that the Bulgarian student who inspired this was later deported!!

I feel better about my quilts already! Not that I'm going to try to get a blue ribbon on this judging site.

Isn’t it wonderful how others have a way of boosting your self -esteem?:) :0)

I thought I had some bad nightmares. Mine look like blue ribbons compared to some of these. Still have a long way to go though.

I liked "Good Grief Charlie Brown" quilt entrants explanation...“My neighbor made a beautiful one. I simply had to prove I could too; only without templates, cutting tools, or accurate measuring!”

uh... isn't that why we have so many tools????

I laughed till I cried over this selection. I promise I will never use turkey or cow material in my quilts, ever!

Boy, I will NEVER say that my quilts are bad.

All I can say is AHHHH, some are not so bad and I think that the judges remarks border on the cruel,I think some of the quilts could be said to be 'ironic', the rest, well at least they tried!

Oh my. Seriously, those make my first attempt look like a masterpiece. Certainly wouldn't win any quilt show awards, but it makes me feel a LOT better! LOL

This is wonderful! There is such a thing as an ugly quilt.

I never thought I would be able to say this but I'm a professional quilter!! LOL ( only compared to the Worst Quilts Ever ) That was so funny!
