I bought three bundles as well and they are all ugly, minus maybe one or two. I was disappointed but will add them to my stash.

Try a pinwhell, D9P, Scrappy, if you incoporate with other color, the ugly will be less. Just try different fabrics with it and do what works.

This is what you do with ugly fabric. Both quilts were made with ugly fabric submitted by board members. Pictures are about half-way down the page.

Paired with a neutral or white or black, make HSTs out of them. As small as you're willing to go. You'll be surprised.

I bought two sets of these FQ's and mine are mostly ugly, also. I guess we have learned a lesson -- don't let someone else choose your fabrics for you. Texasmom

Well, I got three of those bundles from Whittles. I must admit there were a few that I just didn't like, but for the most part I'm sure I can find a project for most of them. You just have to incorporate the uglies with some better looking fabrics!
