You should buy it and enter it in the Ugly contest!

Have to admit, years ago I made pillow cases to sell at craft fairs and on one side I wrote in the middle and with large letters "In the mood" and the other side "Not in the mood", got the funniest remarks from the men.............My wife would never turn it over, it would only say NITM.......

A friend used a similar fabric (sexy camper/lumberjack types) for a hex OBW. It actually turned out very cool!

Oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes. Great idea. Now, who can I marry off...

Wellll, it's different, thank goodness. I don't think I'd want to see too much of it "out there". It's definitely not my choice, but there must be a market for it somewhere. To each his or her own, as they say. I think that's one thing (only one) that makes quilting so great - there is such variety of fabric and of blocks and ideas that it's never boring!

It seems Janet knows what I am talking about! LOL

I'd buy it. My neices love these fabrics. I make pillowcases for them. They have the whole collection of Alexander Henry hunks. My brothers love the pin-up gals too.

Annaquilts 02-11-2011 02:14 PM

LOL My friend and I saw this at the Road to California. You'd be surprised how many people were gobbling it up. Not my taste at all. LOL To each his own I guess. What do people make with this?

vicki75 02-11-2011 02:22 PM

That is hilarious! I would totally use it in a quilt just for fun!

luvstitches 02-11-2011 02:26 PM

Can you use the back side? hee hee hee

buckyfan19 02-11-2011 02:29 PM

Oh my, this is giving me a good gut ache because I am laughing so hard!

Janetd 02-11-2011 02:30 PM

Did someone really design that thing?

Kitsapquilter 02-11-2011 02:34 PM

I totally agree....I would never make a quilt (or anything else) out of this. Guess someone else might but not me!

Butterflyblue 02-11-2011 02:36 PM

I agree. Eeewww. Worse than the others I've seen in this vein. The PP who said they aren't even proportioned right is right. They just look off.

babyboomerquilter 02-11-2011 02:38 PM

I think its hilarious! Super ugly and funny!

NannySandy 02-11-2011 03:04 PM

Gross! Sickening!!

grammyto2 02-11-2011 04:26 PM

yuck

NUTMEG10 02-11-2011 04:54 PM

I don't think this is ugly. Just think of all the fun you could have with this fabric. Bridal shower gift, etc. You know what I mean. Tee Hee

quiltedlamb07 02-11-2011 05:02 PM

oookkkk, me o' my... he he

DawnMarie 02-11-2011 06:12 PM

I think I could make a quilt out of that and snuggle with it all night long. lol

wolph33 02-11-2011 06:22 PM

that would make great potholders yummy potholders

Oftentimes at school, while waiting for second bus run, one of the girls (5th) and I will look at some quilt pictures--she loves Bargellos. I opened this post at school, but thank goodness she wasn't with me! I'd better be careful! :lol:

Grandma58 02-11-2011 06:38 PM

I don't think I could cut it either, it has a flair for sure!

sisLH 02-11-2011 06:48 PM

Nancy's Notions has many of these right now also -firemen, cowboys, construction men. My sil is using them to make boxer shorts and bar-b-que aprons.

Kris, I'm older than you and I do agree...not my cup of tea. I've seen similar cheesecake fabrics that look much nicer.

They had a great idea to start, but then they DID ruin it with disproportionate bodies and the faces are kind of sneakily scary!
