Last year I bought a few huge tubs of fabric for 50 off a lady on craigs list. The fabric was mostly beautiful and I love it. But what do I do with the ugly fabric. There is a little of the fabric that I wouldn't call attractive. What would you do with it? I love scrap quilts but can you add ugly fabric in and still have a beautiful quilt?

They say if you cut ugly fabric small enough you can make it pretty!!!! :D:D

Maybe somebody else will find it attractive?

Carrie, that's so funny. Today I pulled out some fabric, have no idea how or when I got it. It is UGLY!! Looks like camoflage fabric for gnomes!!! I paired it with some pale yellow and made a maple leaf and it looks great! Try pairing your uglies with something or use them as backing on a table runner (no one sees them).
Good luck! |
cut the uglies up for foundation pieces when you do scrappy quilt blocks.....you might not need to add batting!!
donate it....one mans ugly is another mans pretty!! jodi in leavenworth |

swap with someone...you may think it's ugly but someone else might just love it...or donate it to a Senior Ctr for their crafts.

Sometimes the ugliest fabric makes the most gorgeous quilts. I'm trying very hard to us up my stash and I really had some fabric gut-wrenchers in the closet. I just figured I had nothing to loose and put them together with some black fabric and I really liked how they turned out. So, just jump in and have a good time with it.
