I recently did a child size strippy quilt using fabric found in our church stash which we use for mission quilts. If I only had a picture - because it could qualify for the "Ugly Quilt" title. That said, I think we've all got some doozers in our quilting history !! I hope to see more here because they make us smile !!

Perhaps 4 table runners would have been another option? I think the first two columns work very well. Column 3 and 4 - not so much.
I'd say you could give it to someone who is color blind, except I AM,as my eye doctor says, profoundly color blind. But that isn't as bad as you'd think it is. It means I see primary colors reasonably well, but blends of primary colors, like red-orange, or aqua or turquoise, I see the most dominant color. Pastels do very little for me. Traffic lights have only two colors for me - the red and the amber. The green is invisible to me; at night it just looks like another street light. Good thing the colors I NEED to see are red and amber!
And yes, I have completed at least one ugly quilt and one that was (and still is) so ugly I couldn't finish it.

Thanks Sewbizgirl! I agree that your second one could be a valid entry in this show. These do make me smile, shake my head and wonder "What we're we thinking??" But I think we really are better quilters in the long run after making these "learning Opportunities"!!! 
cathyvv, I love your comment about finding a color blind person for it! Great idea!
