I've got one underway- I call it the "butt ugly" quilt. I'm MAKING myself finish it. But, I tried to make it better and I think I may have accomplished that. But, because I hate it, the sashings are off on the rows and I don't care! I just want to finish it and make it go away!

Oh well, maybe it will go to sleep one night and wake up beautiful. (In my dreams!)

Ive made ugly quilts but I learned alot with each one. So I write it off as a learning experience.
Just finished a top that is horrible, with extreme bright colors and the wrong pattern to use for the colors used. Another learning experience.

It looks like it's finished and that it's being used.

That counts as "successful" to me.

It's not that bad. I have yet to make a quilt other than rag quilts. They are sew easy, I can't help myself. I think I'm addicted to rag quilts. :lol:

The first quilt I made my oldest daughter turned out really ugly. I didn't like the colors or the pattern after I was done. Told her I would make another one that was nicer. She told me its warm and every night she covers up with it she can feel the love I put in it and she knows she is loved. What a great kid. But it still is ugly.

Yep, I made an ugly dresden and never finished it. Won't either!

Yours doesn't look bad.

I really like the pattern and it looks like it was very time consuming. Maybe the colors could have cooperated a little better but all in all I think it is a nice quilt. If I were cold and you offered me that quilt to snuggle up in, I would think it the most beautiful quilt on earth!

I'm with Sandpat. :lol: :lol: :lol: I like your style quilt4u. You are one brave lady.

But remember what is ugly to one is pretty to another. :D

Nice pattern. What is it?

:D :D :D :D I so love to hear the responses from everyone! It is prove positive that everyone's opinion is perfectly wonderfully theirs! I agree with sandpat and sewsewquilter! Not the prettiest one I've ever seen, but I have seen worse. Here's an idea, try it again with different colors and placement and see how it turns out! :D
