I am sure it has some redeaming features-somewhere-in some quilt-I can also see it as reptile skin-not what I would want in a quilt, though! Yes, it could get lost in a strip/scrappy quilt in small pieces I guess. But it just goes to show any fabric no matter how ugly, has a place in some type of quilt! I think the person who designed this one was an alien on "V"!!

No offence, but I agree.

None taken!!!

I don't have a clue-but if I use it, it will have to either be small bits to get lost among better looking fabrics, or as Barking Rabbit said, use it for snake skin or turtle head/legs-I can't see myself EVER making a quilt with snakes-maybe someday a turtle or two, but with about 2 yards, it is bound to stay in my stash forever! I will probably make a point of using it someplace, now that it reared its ugly head, maybe for vine applique. It can't be that noticable as a vine!

I could see the snake skin fabric being used for a snake & turtle as part of a tropical scene or maybe garden of Eden with beautiful flowers, trees, birds other animals, etc. It would get lost in the beauty.
