Once I think it's ugly ,it usually stays ugly. However, I am sewing together some 2" squares into an eventual scrappy quilty-something-or-other (not sure yet what it will be). Some of them I KNOW I wouldn't choose but since they were given to me that size, I'm adventuring with them as "leaders and enders" so far. But if I have fabric I don't like any more, or am bored with, or can't see ever using, out it goes. If it doesn't bring me up, I don't want it taking up valuable real estate.

There's ugly fabric????
Dog and cat beds/pads for the local shelter. They doggies and kitties do not mind. Potholders, too. If ugly with "weird" pattern, great for FMQ practice. |

True. Here's a pineapple I made with some REALLY ugly fabrics. The logs finished at 1" wide. It turned out gorgeous!

I cut mine up and put them into the new mystery quilt

I agree with Bonnie Hunter. There is no such thing, but the ones I am not thrilled with I put into scrappy quilts for fun. They always look better when done up.

Brat just closed a side swap of ugly fabric, it went with the March Fat-q swap. I'm curious how it will turn out. So far it's really entertaining.

Nice "ugly fabric quilts" shown here are proof that value, colors, patterns certainly make for "beautiful quilts."

A wise person once said " If your fabric is ugly, you just haven't cut the pieces small enough yet!". I am a believer.
