Dragonfly Nana 01-29-2011 08:09 PM

Someone told me there was no such thing as ugly fabric....you just have to cut it smaller!

Going to check my stash now.....

Norbanaquilts would beg to differ. She won last year and her quilt was absolutely gorgeous. I'll try to find the link. You've got to see this!

cjomomma, we think alike! I'm so glad you're here again for this challenge. :thumbup:

cjomomma 01-29-2011 09:07 PM

Here is the link to ugly quilt.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-44522-54.htm

about half way down the page.

jaciqltznok 01-29-2011 09:08 PM

great...you see, if you cut it small enough it is never ugly...

cjomomma 01-29-2011 09:11 PM

I dug a piece out and DH said don't you have something uglier. I guess I need to dig deeper.

jaciqltznok 01-29-2011 09:15 PM

I will have to dig tomorrow...time for bed...I washed and hung out and then ironed nearly 30 yrds of fabric today...could not resist with the weather we had...I am beat now though

Twisted Quilter 01-29-2011 09:16 PM

Uh-Oh, I thought today was the 1st! I already posted my picture...Sorry! :oops:

frugalfabrics 01-29-2011 09:16 PM

I definitely want to join in...I've seen some UGGGGLEEEE stuff in all my sorting of fabrics during this past month.

I'll go in search of my top 5 choices and then select the worst one for my post.

this sounds like fun

dkabasketlady 01-29-2011 10:35 PM

I think I'll participate this year, but I DON'T want to win, lol!! I'll have to dig thru my stash again. If I'd read this post a couple of hours ago, I could have saved myself some time. I remember everyone's fabric from last year and I didn't think any of them looked UGLY after they were put into the quilt!!

lisalisa 01-30-2011 02:29 AM

I might be missing it, but why not have a prettiest scrap challenge? seems a bit counter productive to collect so many uglies IMO

NorBanaquilts 01-30-2011 02:30 AM

I think part of the rules should be the person that won last year can't win again this year. :)

NorBanaquilts 01-30-2011 02:32 AM

yes, winning this one is a lot like losing!

NorBanaquilts 01-30-2011 02:37 AM

I'm not worried this year, I have a ugly to post, but nothing as ugly as last year. Here's to hoping I don't win!

Actually, I like getting ugly fabric, and cutting it up into a scrappy strip quilt...it turns out so beautiful.

I just sold one and numerous people wanted it.
