Earlier this year, my "voodoo ladies" fabric was voted ugliest and I was the lucky recipient of everyone else's uglies. My task: to create beauty from the ugly. Here is the result. What do you think? Lemonade from lemons, I hope!

(I posted a larger number of pictures on the original thread from the contest, so if you want to see all the fabrics and more photos of the quilt, you can look here:)

That is the greatest quilt out of "ugly fabrics". You made a great choice of pattern

I remember a LOT of these LMBO
You picked a perfect pattern to showcase how nicely they play together, in smaller amounts :D:D:D
