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.

I love that quilting design.

What fun - great job

Wow ! that is a beautiful quilt. The way you outlined the blocks really sets it off. How big is each individual 9 patch unit?

Now that is a price to make a quilt that I can live with, Ha Ha.

Beautiful quilt! It looks ready to snuggle up in:)

I thini it is absolutely beautiful. You turned what you considered an "ugly duckling" into a "beautiful swan". That is so great.

Love the vibrant colors!!!

It made a very happy quilt. Great job.

It is a happy quilt for sure. Love the cheerful colors.

I LOVE it! Great quilting, too.

Stunning. Lovely story too.

Gorgeous colors, I love 9 patch quilts. I guess I'm very traditional at heart. The fishie backing fabric is perfect too, I love to find a surprise on the back.

I love what you did with thos nine patches! Now your "found" treasure is both beautiful and useful! Good work!

Nothing ugly about this quilt. I think you did a great job of "garbage". Makes me smile as well.

It's lovely. I was raised by a depression era mom so I have a hard time throwing things away as well. This means I have LOTS of scraps to make something similar to what you've done. THANK YOU! And the $1/yard Walmart find is fabulous!! I love a bargain. (You go to hell if you pay retail)

Did you use the short cut 9-patch method?

Your "ugly duckling blocks" have been transformed into a beautiful swan. Awesome work. I love the colors -- backing included.

I agree with above comments. It turned out pretty and I do love your backing. great job!!!

You should just get an award for being "Green"! :) Really--it turned out so cheerful and pretty. Congratulations!

Quite an eyecatcher.

Pretty!! Love the fish!

It's a beautiful quilt!! :-D

Brilliant rescue of great blocks. I like how you made them work altogether with the bright borders. Excellent.

Very nice, bright quit. Great work
