    Beautiful. Proves that there is no "UGLY" fabrics.

    Really is nice for ugly fabrics. You did well. Is there a name for that pattern?

    That is just great! Shows that the components are completely different from the quilt~

    OMG! It is so colourful and fun. And when people look closely at the fabrics they will do a double take. I am pleased to see my ugly "squashed fly" aka firefly fabric featured so prominently in the squares and border. Shall I send you the rest?:)

    It's surprising how nice you made that quilt look!
    How did you get up the willpower to work with some of those fabrics? For me most of the inspiration would be gone if i didn't love the fabrics.
