Why not cut it into 2 1/2 inch squares and sew it back to gether,random. Put the square in a bag, and how you pull them out is how you sew them together. Might make a neet piece. Good luck.

"If its still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough." Bonnie Hunter said something along these lines. lol

I do agree that its ugly!

There are so many things you could do with this piece of fabric. I happen to like your fabric. It will be nice to see what you decide to do with it.

I think that it has great color options. I'd put lots and lots of different yellows, golds, greens and oranges into a really scrappy quilt. I personally love to make half square triangles, and then make them into stars. This is only a fat quarter. With plenty of other fabrics, you can bury it, or enhance it all the way to a masterpiece.

Do you have any information about this fabric? It might work for a backing of a baby quilt I have started.

As Bonnie Hunter says "If it is still ugly you haven't cut it small enough".

Ok, I know I'm in the minority here, but I like this fabric and used it in a BIG TEN quilt that I made using the Swirly Girls Design pattern. Here's a link to my blog post that showed the coordinating fabrics I used and the initial stages of the quilt construction. For some reason I don't have a picture of the finished quilt, but in it, I used the fabric in question as an ooutside border with orange cornerstones (third fabric from the top in the picture of the fabrics). I also bound it in the orange fabric. Currently the quilt is hanging in an area quilt shop as a class sample and I guess the fabric didn't turn off enough people because I have 8 already signed up for the class. :-) Good luck with whatever you do, and be sure to share pictures.

Here's the link to my quilt: http://joanne-everyonedeservesaquilt...monday_26.html

Joanne 9 of 12....your swirling quilt is perfect for that fabric. I, too do not find it ugly, I think Halloween and it's only 18x22. Please show us when you decide.
