No offence, but I agree.
None taken!!!
My youngest son would love that for boxer shorts.

OK, so now your fabric certainly doesn't look ugly. I really like your bags. Great idea.

Here is my ugly. I know once it is combined with other fabric's it will be beautiful. It was given to me but I had told the gifter that I would take ugly fabric because I can make it beautiful.

I wish the colors would have shown better but this is close.

cjomomma, I hate to say it, but I think I like your piece. I like the color combo. Can't decide if it reminds me of upholstery or drape material from the old days.

Vanuatu Jill...that piece is really awful, but WATCH OUT, NorbanaQuilts is coming!

Here is my ugly fabric. I think I bought it on the internet. I think it was an assorted fat quarter pack. If I remember right, they were all ugly. This reminds me of a 60's tyedye T-shirt.
