Make a charity quilt, and use that on the back. You can even plan it, to have a little of some matching color in the top.

"The one yard box was the worst. I got three of the same ugly red-brown fabric."

What Bonnie Hunter says about using ugly fabrics - "if it's still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough"!

That is so very true.

True! I also found that an ugly fabric can end up being a perfectly decent binding.

LOL Love these comments! Like silliness, I purchased a one-yard box from Craftsy and was so disappointed when I opened it... none of the fabrics were really inspiring to me. My original intent was to use them for making bags, but nothing was appealing for that purpose... so maybe I ought to get that box back out, and start cutting those suckers into smaller pieces! :)

Just ordered a fat quarter mystery box. It's my first, but I could not resist. I hope I like it.
