UFQ result
 

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions as to what to do with this UFQ. I laughed at some (throw it away) and believe me I was tempted. I could not put the time and more fabrics into something I would never use. I did however make a place mat for my GD'S dog Sierra. I think she will like it. I could not make this ugly FQ into a beautiful swan! LOL I did complete the challenge though. TY again for your suggestions!
Hugs, Ruth

I think you did a great job with what you had to work with. Don't you just love challenges? They stimulate your thinking and push you to the extreme. Challenges make you do things you never thought you could do. I think you took that UFQ and did an amazing job with it. Sierra will love it (although probably make her a little crazy looking at it) ! I am glad you got a lot of enjoyment and laughs out of this unusual piece of fabric. I know we on the board did! You came up with a great solution!

I like it and I know Sierra will too!

That was such a clever idea. Good job!

Wow how clever of you to use it in the way you did, it looks cute now.

TY Rosie, it is all of what you said. Love you guys here!!!

you did a nice job!!!

You did such a wonderful job, it is so cute!!!!

I think it is cute for a dog mat. Great idea.

I actually like the fabric. I love anything with orange in it. LOL You done good with the dog mat. Anyone out there that don't know what to do with, so called ugly, fabric . The animal shelters love them. They don't care what it is made out of or the colors. Anything goes for them.I just donated 4 practice free motion ugly quilts to a place called Home at Last. They thought they were beautiful. It is a no kill place that finds homes for all their animals.

I've heard that dogs only see things in shades of grey (don't know how anyone figured that out though) so Sierra may not understand what all the fuss is about. Good job!

O Halo, that is good to know.

Clever of you...I love it. Not having a dog making a dog mat would never of entered my mind...

Turned out pretty darn cute

Don't know how you "knew" but the fabric choices & colors for the appliques just seem to "fit" the Ugly & bring it out.

Good job, I would have given up.

Very clever! And a great idea to save an UFQ from a certain death.

You did a great job, glad to see you found the prefect project for it!

Too cute! Problem solved.

This is so cute and original. Good job!

I this you did a wonderful job. I'm sure the dog will love it. That is a good use for such fabric.

That was some baaaddddd fabric. But It turned out great. The orange/yellow just set it off. Great job.

What a lucky dog! By the way, don't worry about him not liking the colors, dogs just see shades of grey! LOL

Good use of your thinking cap to come up with such a cute solution.

What a cute solution to your ugly fabric problem!

I'll bet Sierra will think it is great.

My dogs would love it if I made one for them. That is a great idea.

Cute job with it. very imaginative.

Cute idea! I'm sure Sierra will love it.
