The truth is that I learned some new techniques as I made this one, and I love the size and warmth of it (even if I don't find that it is beautiful)!

I don't think anything is ugly per se. Every piece is an achievement a step closer to a better quilt the next time round. I think that every peice however it looks is a piece of art unique in itself. Well done on completing this project even if you thought it was 'ugly'. I think it is lovely!

All the blocks (triangles no less!) are cut with scissors with 1/2" seams pressed open. I backed it in flannel & turned the backing to the front. It now resides in our camper & I have to say , it is one warm, ugly quilt!

It's fitting, though, b/c it's loud and scrappy, just like them!

I love so-called ugly QUILTS. They tend ot be my favorites. I love your ugly quilt. beauty is in the eye of the beholder since I think it's very pretty. finish it up and donate it, I am sure there is someone out there who would really appreciate it.

It reminded me of my Grandmother's feather mattress and quilted top. I am sure she used every piece of any kind of material available. By the way, no quilt is ugly. How can it be ugly with the love it took to make it.
