My office manager (aka - daughter) went to do the inspection and found these little jewels poking their little heads out of the trash bag. When she pulled out one she immediately saw over 100. I do believe they were the ugliest fabrics I have ever seen but having been raised to use everything I hand washed, dried and pressed each one. Then as I was trying to figure out what to do with them- nothing matched anything, I said what the heck. Add some colorful borders and this is what I got. It is really bright. Now what kind of backing would go with this? While at the local Walmart, the clerk laid a whole bolt (20 yards) on the clearance table and priced it at $1 per yard. It was so bright and fun I had to have it. So that is my story of my little ugly duckling. What started out as not so pretty has grown into a "happy" quilt. Either side that I look at makes me smile.
