I have to watch this thread LOL Y'all are too much. LOL
I have some really ugly fabric but it's packed away somewhere in a plastic tub because of construction going on here. I'm in sewing withdrawal right now. |

Suggestions for ugly fabrics...
1. Cut it up - if it's still ugly, cut it smaller. 2. Use it for backing 3. Line the inside of a totebag 4. Sell it on the forum - someone is going to love it! 5. Give it away. |

cjomamma, I think you are trying really hard to not be the winner. LOL Unless it is ugly in person I kind of like it.
|
I love the tied t-shirt piece, and agree the other poor pieces are ugly!

I don't find this too offensive....

I like most of the ones posted.I just found this thread. I always go for the underdog.I love the bags. I guess it's true beauty is in the eye of the beholder.I only use one eye maybe that's why I like them.LOL
|
Well, I agree Shawnemily-it really is pretty ugly! Looks like a man's shirt from the 70's-but maybe cut into teeny tiny bits with other less "beauty challenged" fabrics, it will take on a new light-I said---maybe!
|
Poker Diva- your's is a bit less "beauty challenged", but runs a close second-however, I love the burst of colors-maybe a OBW???
|
Cjomamma, I like yours!! Reminds me of really gawdy flocked wallpaper in a bordello! LOL - (not that I have seen the insides of one, mind you!!!) I'm not saying I would ever use it though!

C Cal Quilt Girl, I do like yours-It reminds me of stained glass-at least the colors go together! You could almost use it whole, add a border and just quilt the design-Actually, it would be a great practice piece for learning machine quilting, or practicing hand-quilting. Sorry, I sort of do like it!!

I kinda like the tie dye too, reminds me of my youth.
|

|
