I love anything with houses. I think it's very pretty.

Definitely Stack N Whack. The uglier the fabric, the prettier the quilt!

Would make an excellent background for an art quilt scene of Paris. Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I made curtains out of it. I was looking for more, the curtains need replaced.

I don't see that piece of fabric being ugly. I see it as an artist's pallet of an english countryside cottage. I think it is beautiful, will you see or exchange it?

But I've reached a tote that looks like older fabric...from the 90's...

And you know that saying "if the fabric is still ugly it means you haven't cut it small enough"?

Well...I beg to differ...you couldn't possibly cut this stuff small enough...though I will try...

And not only that...there are FOUR YARDS of this ugliness!!! LOL
