Use in very small pieces. Trade with someone who loves them.

Make a scrappy Log Cabin. I did with fabric that I thought was pitifully ugly. Everyone loved it.
|
Bonnie Hunter says that if they are still ugly after you chop them up then you didn't cut small enough.
|
Maybe a postage stamp quilt. Then you couldn't tell what was
on the fabric. |
strip piecing uses alot of uglies up. You don't notice they are so ugly when surrounded by so many others that maybe aren't in the beauty contest section.
|
I got my bundles from them yesterday too and I love them all. I bought the max of 3 bundles. They are all beautiful bright colors. Sorry you didn't like yours.
|
I GOT MY 2 BUNDLES TODAY AND i REALLY LIKE ALL BUT MAYBE 4 AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE A CHILDS PRINT,THAT IS REALLY BRIGHT AND WEIRD DRAWINGS.I FIGURE I WILL CUT IT UP FOR IN WALLETS OR PURSE LININGS ETC. SO IT WON'T BE THE MAIN FABRIC.WITH 16 GRANDKIDS AND 3 GREAT GRAND KIDS I'LL USE IT UP .
|
There are several things- You can run borders in black to offset and seperate. If you have a daughter or granddaughters between 4- 17 they will most likely love the fabric and you can give it to them for doll clothes.

I agree with sewmary. :)

Any suggestions on what kind of quilt I could make with them that would lessen the ugly when mixed together with the other scraps and remnants I have? Is there a particular pattern any of you use to make something worthwhile from fabric you just aren't crazy about? HELP!
