My daughter and I were taking a Stack N Whack class. She found some really ugly fabric on sale for the class. The quilt turned out quite pretty. I mean, this was really ugly fabric. BTW, I like your fabric.

I love the fabric but I, too, am a purple-person. My first thought was "stack & whack", but depending on how often it repeats, you may not have enough to do anything bigger than a wall hanging or a lap throw. You could also use it as an 'inspiration' fabric and make a sampler quilt using a piece of this fabric in every square with coordinating fabrics. Rememer the quilting rule: There are no rules! Just grab a pattern and start cutting! Have fun with it and share your results.

I don't think it's ugly, it's just very busy! I would cut it up in 4 1/2" squares (the size of 1 flower) and then frame it (like a square in a square)

I like the fabric. If you have enough, maybe make a Stack-n-Whack quilt. It would look beautiful!

I like it but I can see a four patch posey if you really don't.

Great suggestions. I cannot pass up any fabric bargain. I have some really "tragic fabrics" in my growing stash. I really like your fabric, please let us know what you decide (remember we love pics).

That's not ugly! I'll double your money - here's $2.00 for your fabric - I'll even pay shipping!
