As a quilter, I have been collecting fabrics for years. I have found fabrics at yard sales, shops, and once bought 20 pounds of vintage scraps off of Ebay. Most of the fabrics are treasures that I plan to use in a variety of quilts. However, there are some UGLY fabrics in my stash.
So this week, I am going to a white elephant gift exchange. I must admit that I am the kind of person that will give the crappy gift instead of another scented candle or set of potholders. So this year, I decided to use the ugly fabrics in my stash and make a simple quilt. I used all sorts of bright, novelty fabrics and geometrics in the quilt. I even used scrap binding that I had on hand from earlier quilt projects. My daughter, who generally loves all the quilts I have made, said it was very ugly.
Tonight I will wrap it up and take it to the party tomorrow. I look forward to seeing the reaction from the other guests to this horrible, ugly quilt.
