Why is it someones ugly/cast off is someone elses 'must have'??? It wouldn't do for us all to like exactly the same things!! That's what makes this craft so amazing!!!!!

Me too.

I've seen many of the more modern designs that (to me) are all similar and uninspiring. This one has character, lots of interest and the colors are fine.

Why is it ugly to you (OP)?

The colors are a weird pink and turquoise. And the design is sorta mutated...I don't know how to describe it. I kinda looks like pink & turquoise mud?

I can't think of any fabric that I might have that would go with it.

When I look at it I think "the 90's called and wants their fabric back!" LOL

I guess you have to see it in person to get the real distaste for it! LOL

I think it would be good for a S&W or OBW.

I like it, too, but if it were here, I'd not get to use it in a quilt. Number four daughter would want a sundresss. I like the colors. If you don't do stack and whack, then forget the pattern and use it in 2" strips as a scrappy. Option 3, you seem to have acquired quite a bit of fabric. Sell that one on the board. I'm just starting that daughter's birthday quilt. That fabric would make a great addition for her.

I love it, it is pretty. Make a village wall hanging with some applique flowers, borders, there are a lot of possibilities.

What is the saying, one man's junk is another's treasure? If it was just a little lighter, it would be PERFECT for a quilt I did called Bricks & Blocks in mauve and aqua. I TOO think that a Stack and Whack would be a perfect pattern for this fabric. If you don't want to use it, you can always post it up for sale. GOOD LUCK
