Ok I am all for using the same rules and such. I would just need to pick some dates for deadlines. Is everyone ok with that? If we are I will email the lady to post the new dates and such.

Maybe another week or so ... I'm still thinking about what I want to do with it.

I too never heard from the poor person who received my "ugly" from the previous exchange. Maybe it was just too ugly and they took it to the nearest trash can. LOL I still have 75% of my creation finished. It is still on the design board. I actually loved the piece of fabric I got.

Count me in on another exchange. I will have to start digging to find just the perfect piece.

I participated in the original swap and saw the fabrics, etc. I even completed a top. What I want to see are pictures of the new "horrible" fabrics Elisabrat and her friend got from their sisters!

Ah, the hippy fabric! I will have to find it and take a picture for you! I actually don't hate it but I am not sure what to do with it.

Hi all,
Well I didn't get in on the 1st ugly fabric challenge, but as I was reading this thread, I did buy the quilt top that JenniePenny made from the fabric she received as I loved it!! So, I am putting my name in the hat to sign up for the next uf swap if and when there is one!!
Regards,
Kif

Ok Everyone, For the next swap we are going to be using some fabric from my stash that is "ugly" I have five or more yards. I still need to get approval from the site but I will be mailing everyone a fat quarter of this "ugly" and it will be interesting to see everyone's different idea's of the fabric. You will need it to be at least a lap size quilt, only has to be the top and you must use all the "ugly" fabric in the FRONT of the quilt and only use four other fabrics with it. What do you ladies think about this idea?

Melinda, we would all be using the same fabric to make our lap quilts? Then do we exchange them? I am not sure I completely understand? Or would it be like a Boomerang where we all send out ugly fabric and get blocks back! LOL... might be funny!

Nexxus831 09-12-2012 08:48 PM

We all would get the same "ugly fabric" and make a lap size quilt and keep it for ourselves. It wouldn't be a swap it would be more of a challenge. Just to see how we all use the fabric differently. Does that clarify it for you?

This sounds interesting, and if I didn't have so many pressing projects I'd participate. Right now my list is mind boggling!
