Alva, I'm not generally a fan of scrappy quilts but your quilt is bright, cheerful and well laid out so certainly not ugly; I like it and the strip pieced border compliments the blocks. Riot in the scrap bin is partly an appropriate name because your quilt is well organized!.

I think it is wonderful. i've made several janes, FW, D9P, 30's, so many hard ones, and i have a scrappy quilt on my bed right now, instead of any of them.......

Somebody needs to invent a little lawn mower thing, so we can just "mow" the back when we're ready to cut the threads.

The new name is hugely better. It's a good looking quilt.

I like what you did. How about "Not so plum ugly".

NOOOO way is that 'plum ugly'!!! Scrappy is always pretty & soooo colorful!! Great way of trying to reduce our stashes, huh?

THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT AN UGLY QUILT!!! I love it! I am partial to scrappys, but that is beautiful. Thanks a lot, another one to add to the list. HA. Whatever name you go with it just can't be "Plum ugly". Looking forward it seeing it quilted. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great quilt! I love it and hope you feel proud of it. I could never do a scrappy quilt and have it come out as nicely as yours.

I decided to add another row of blocks and put in a plum (purple) 1" border. Then I remembered that I had 200 or more crazy crumb 3 1/2" blocks put away so I pulled those out for the outside border. I ended up taking a 1/2" seam to join the crumb blocks so they would fit better. Still not perfect on the corner but I can live with that. I will use the same purple fabric for the binding. I love how it turned out. Decided the name maybe should be "Riot in the Stash Bin" or something along that line. One reason...there is a riot of strings on the back that need trimming! UGH!!
