Cut it into 1.25" and 1.5" strips, and use it in a strip quilt. I took a class at a local quilt show once where the lady had taken these varying widths of strips and sewn them diagonally onto a paper backing (she used 6.5" or 8.5" pages from old telephone books, because they tear off so easily), always using the same light (or white) color for the center strip. Then she put them together in several different patterns - amazing the variety! - and voila - a lovely quilt from ugly scraps. This fabric would make a perfect candidate. You don't even have to match colors, because the strips are so narrow, the color-clash looks interesting, rather than ugly.

ditto, or use it with a D9P.

Y'know, I was given a bug-ugly half yard (!!!!) for one of these challenge projects - it was medium grey mauve background with olive-brown and grey-khaki "dashes" and medium blue yuck impressionist flowers. I used it as a lining for a cathedral windows purse I made with brighter (read "far more attractive") versions of the colors for one project I submitted (the lining looked like a darker version of the purse's outside colors), and as the backing for a FQ sized quilt. I won for the cathedral window project but then they changed the rules so that in the next Ugly Fabric challenge it had to be visible on the front of the project.

I'd make a project with "attractive" versions of the colors in this fabric and use the UFQ fabric as the binding - you'll only see 1/4" to 3/8" of it, and the narrow visibility of it could lend just a little interest and movement to the rest of the project.

Good luck! This is one ugly fq!

well....it's "challenging" all right! How about squares w/black sashing in the middle of each????? or not.

I would consider a stack and whack from it. You never know what it will be unless you try.

OK, call me weird, but I actually kinda like the fabric. If you want to sell it, PM me

LOL, and here I am thinking it's not all that ugly!! I think combining with Halloween and/or fall colors is the way to go also.

You could get really fiddly and do a postage stamp with some brighter additions, string quilt or as others suggested applique pieces or yoyos. I must admit...I don't think it is really that ugly

How much would you want for it? I think I have an idea for it if you're willing to sell, trade or whatever if you're willing. Just give me a pm. Thanks so much!
