Also - I want to see your ugly quilts, or your scrap and utility quilts! The ones you make to be used and abused![/quote]

Here's my ugly utility quilt for my own use. The back is from an old bed sheet and old sun faded curtains. The blocks are an accumulation of left over scraps from over 40 years of making clothes for my kids and myself. Sorry, I'm not a photographer![/quote]

The picture and the quilt both are great. Love it.

Love both of your quilts. They look really cuddly.

I hate, hate, HATE this quilt I made. So much so that I gave it away as a Christmas gift. :twisted:

Is it a log cabin pattern?
Here's the link to the pattern, Crayon Box.

Eddie, Your quilt is beautiful! Is it that this isn't your style of quilt? I know how you feel, I just made one that is just so ugly to me but the customer liked it.

I really hate this quilt that I made waaaaaaaaay back in the late '70s when I was 'into' quilting AND astrology! Probably my first applique and I made my own pattern...
It's one of those quilts that you love to hate - I don't want it but I can't bring myself to get rid of it or destroy it :hunf: :?

I like your quilt, and the other "uglies" on here. I guess it's because I think every quilt has it's purpose.

I really like some of these so called ugly quilts. Must be ugly + ugly = pretty darn nice!
