Making the ugliest quilt ever!
#24
I have an ugly quilt that I love. Didn't make it - quilted it for a friend and she never picked up. All kinds of fabrics and all kinds of sizes of pieces, but it fits the sofa great and is warm. Maybe I should make another and get rid of my stash. I have boxes of 6-1/2" squares that I could make several quilts out of - both flannel and cotton.

I just finished up what I thought was the ugliest quilt ever. It is a bulls eye quilt. All the blocks came from a swap i was in so you know there was a little of everything. I washed and dried it and guess what--I really like it now. It just needed to soften up a little. I am sure you will like yours when its done.

Sometimes the ugliest quilt is the one that gets used the most. I know, I have "junk yard dog" quilt, a quilt I bought 20 some years ago, pea green and red and that is the pretty colors. Junk yard dog signs plastered without, but it is the warmest thing and so used over the years. For the last few years it has been missing til I found it in the trunk of my 30 yr old son's car, shocked I said there is where junk yard dog is. He stated, he loves that quilt and takes it everywhere", he and his family moved to Tx along with junk yard dog. It is the ugliest but warm and loved and now well used.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I participated in a jelly roll exchange and got some of the uglist strips you could imagine. The ugly part was they didn't coordinate with anything much less each other. So I sorted into groups of four with some coordination of color. I then did the 4 strip tube quilt. You know what? They all came out looking really good. Turned out to be a really attractive scrap tube quilt. So use it.....that's where creativity comes to play.
