I'm sorry but yours is looking better. LOL!!

lauriejo 01-31-2011 04:49 AM

Navarre that one has real possibility! Roda I like the colors in yours, not the pattern so much, but cut up it would be nice.

cjomomma 01-31-2011 04:53 AM

Back in June I found some really horrible fabric at walmart but I didn't have the money at the time. When DH got paid (2days later) I went to get 1/2 yard and it was all gone. I couldn't figure out why anyone would want all of it, it was truly horride fabric.

I agree with cjomma that those fabrics from Navarre & roda are b..t UGLY fabrics.

Carrie(cjommoma), I LOVE your fabric!! Take it out of the contest and send it my way(or hang onto it, I'll be back in KY. in April). Surely you can come up with something else to put in the challenge.

LindaB, I want those shopping bags! I LOVE them ALL of them!!


It seems like everyone is saying that they got their fabric in a grabbag. Well mine came from a grouping of fatqtrs.(blues) and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I had several picked out, but as I was going thru them again I found repeats in other groupings so thought I might possibly use them(since I'd have 1/2 yd. of matching fabric). If not then I can save them for the next Ugly fabric challenge, lol!!!

Here's my fabric - Can you say "It looks like an ALIEN invasion"!!!

You are right! That's UGLY!

redbugsullivan 01-31-2011 06:48 AM

This is too funny! You've found a perfect quote. I may just have to borrow it. And I have some UGLY fabric I'll be posting soon that's beyond cutting up.

These are darling!

cjomomma 01-31-2011 07:37 AM

What were some of these designers thinging!! Dkabasketlady when I looked at your fabric my response was OH, what the heck is that!!!

I love your shopping bags, where did you get the pattern? I have some fabric that I consider ugly that I could make shopping bags out of. Would you mind sending me a personal message with the pattern or at least where you purchased it.

Thanks

Twisted Quilter 01-31-2011 08:36 AM

OMG...Navarre what were you thinking? :shock:

DKAbasketlady, I really like your piece :lol:

Roda, your piece just leaves me speechless!

Good job ladies!

That's too funny! I guess it was UGLY!! We all know that our quilt inspectors have GOOD taste.

cjomomma, I don't know what my fabric is, but it looks like Alien's in LOVE,lol!! I'm sure it'll look fine in a quilt(a small amount of it), but I never would have bought this. It was in a fat qtr. pack and I just noticed it.

TwistedQuilter, so far your fabric is in the running and maybe you'll get my piece, lol!! I sure hope I don't have to keep it!!!

Twisted Quilter 01-31-2011 10:41 AM

Uh-Oh...Roda has more than the required amount. There's a threat to possibly send more if she doesn't win. Things are really getting ugly now!

C.Cal Quilt Girl 01-31-2011 11:19 AM

Looking at some of them wondering what flavor brownies were being munched on :)

I'll hush, somewhere someone worked hard to create these masterpieces, then those O Quilters will chop it up and recreate to make something to snuggle with!! What's that called recycling?? LOL :)

LivelyLady 01-31-2011 11:51 AM

If the fabric is ugly. LindaB, it sure doesn't show in the bags....they are so pretty! Great idea!

Elvis is green with envy here at all the ugly scraps. He is a bit on the pale side in this photo, he just doesn't take a decent picture anymore.

He said he is willing to leave the building if he is not voted #1 as he expects, something about being the king.

Please let him leave. He is definately an ugly green.

Twisted Quilter 01-31-2011 03:05 PM

Hey Ditter! Where is your ugly? I know you have one...

Here is my entry. I have alternated between loving and hating it. My family hates it, and frankly, is afraid of it.
I have finally decided that it is, truly, ugly.

Twisted Quilter 01-31-2011 05:13 PM

OH MY GOODNESS...What in the 'H' is this? This is really awful...let's vote!

I've named your piece 'Voodoo Ladies'. It's really bad.

Jennifer22206 01-31-2011 05:15 PM

wait.. I do have some ugly stuff too.

I remember you posting this and complaint about how your family hated it. It is aweful!! Hahahah!!

Debka 01-31-2011 05:22 PM

You remembered! I did put this up once (not in this kind of a competition) asking for suggestions about what to do with it, and saying that my family hated it.
I never figured out what to do with it - I guess it has been waiting for this Ugliness challenge! It really does qualify.
