Quiltingboard Forums - Scrappy Quilt show

Here's the first and only real scrappy I've done, I had been on a real 30's repo tear, and these are the leftovers from that. I have a tendancy to give away or toss scraps, but I've decided to keep them within reason so I can make more scrappys.

I love your scrappy!! I may have to borrow this idea for my next one.. and done with those beautiful reproductions...

I participated in the ugly fabric swap and challenge here on the QB. I received 1/3 yard of a fabric someone thought was ugly and I liked. I made this quilt top with the ugly fabric, scraps, and yardarge that I had from my stash. Several of the fabrics I added were hard to use in other quilts, so this top used up a bunch that might not have been used otherwise. Unless you participated in the ugly fabric swap you would have a hard time guessing which was the "ugly fabric."
I like how it turned out and hope you enjoy looking at it too. The pattern was in arecent quilting magazine but I changed the color scheme a bit and didn't construct it the same way since I made it based off the "coming soon" picture before the actually pattern was printed.

The "ugly" fabric is the denim colored plaid with red polka dots. I used all but a narrow strip of it in the quilt. I am always amazed at the differing opinions of pretty and ugly.

I guessed the yellow zebra striped fabric was the ugly one but I do admire the diversity and uniqueness of some of the fabrics used in this quilt. I think I would have been more challenged by the fabric I named vs. the one you were given.

And I'm guilty of buying all of those. The one i dislike the most is only represent in small pieces....a greyish mustard with white flowers. There is also a lot of a blue fabric with flowers that I don't like but seemed to match everything. So, I got rid of a lot of weird fabrics with this quilt. The crazy thing is that I still like it.
