Ugly Fabric

I am in an ugly fabric challenge. My guild gave us a gift bag that we are supposed to fill with ugly fabric and notions. then in September all the bags will be on a table and we go pick on not knowing what is inside or who it is from. then in October we will get instructions on what we have to do. So, I want to try to give really, really ugly fabric. I am hoping some of you will donate to me some really ugly fabric no smaller than a 12" square. I haven't been in the directory for a few years. If you reply on here I will get my address to you.

Oh, send me your address! I found some "oh-good-heavens-why-did-I-buy- that" stuff over the weekend.

Nothing here that I'd call truly ugly but I do have some that is rather dazzling. Do you think that painfully bright will fit in? I have some that would even make Kaffe run for cover. Polly

our guild did a version of the ugly fabric thing. we all brought a meter of ugly fabric to the year end potluck and passed the fabric like musical chairs. we all went home with a half meter of one and fat quater of another, fat eighth etc. anyway 6 pieces out of which we have to make something for fall. Mine are really ugly and do not compliment each other at all. ha!

Send me your addy and I will fill an envelope. Must tell you that I used what I thought was truly ugly fabric as a test sample when the Magic Stack and Whack technique first was published. It turned into one of the most striking quilts I have ever made. I agree with Polly that there is no truly ugly fabric.

Our Block of the Month chairman once gave us ugly fabric, and told to make the ugliest block ever. I ended up winning them, and used Sharon Craig's twist and turn with lots of blacks to set them, and guess what? It was like taking lemons and making lemonade. It's still my husband's favorite quilt!

It's been said that if you think a fabric looks ugly, you just haven't cut it into small enough pieces.
