granky - You think your fabric's ugly...

EXCELLENT!
I once had fabric (before I met Miss Cutie, of course) that had some older versions of your little girl bathing beauties.
There was no way I was going to put them into a quilt, so I cut them up into 2.5" squares, figuring that would hide the "curves" (shall we say?) ....
WRONG!
About three years after I did that, I happened to see a Simply Quilts program that featured Kaffe Fausett (sp?) and I could not believe that there in the upper left hand side of his postage stamp quilt, I spied one of those squares! (on TV? from across the room???) but, there it was! LOL
I think your use of the OBW would have been a better use for my cuties - - but, alas! I had already cut up I don't know how many yards of that stuff and it is slowly disappearing into storage bins and occasionally into a quilt <g>.
One might wonder why I had that much fabric if I didn't like it - - well ... I am one of those who is absolutely HOOKED on surprise packages and cannot resist anyone saying: I have some stuff I can't use, do you want it??? (is a mud puddle wet?) LOL <wave>
