Sorry, I just have to do first, second and third place.

#1 - Mitch's Mom (the year 2000 fabric). I mean c'mon; what on earth would anyone do with this? This has my top vote.

#2 - KrisCraft99 ugliest sculls (and colors) in existence

#3 - mcarleneM's pink bow skulls for sheer attrocity

Runners' up:
-- Debka's scary ladies
-- dkabasketlady for worst color and shape combo ever (followed closely by c.Cal Quilt Girl for same)
-- bigsister63 for worst headache (followed closely by navarre2011)

The least ugly:
-- Roda's abstract watercolor floral. I'd take this any day.
-- bamamama-- i think I have a color variation of this in my lone star gone wrong quilt

Has anyone noticed a couple of common themes with these?
1. A lot of ugly, mustard brown colors. Dare I say baby-puke beige?
2. Poor attempts to convey "narrative" via fabric design

LindaB I love those bags! Is there a pattern that you used or a tutorial??? I would love to make some like this! :) It would be a great project for the ladies at church since we are sewing together. :) Thanks for any help.
