Uglies of the Fabric Kind


A to Z challenge letter of the day is U, so I am going to elaborate on fabric uglies. The above grouping of 9 patch pieced patchwork came in a bag $3.99 at thrift. I thought I had a bonanza, but noooooo.🙈 Every single piece of fabric is poor quality and UGLY. 

I can't even pretend to crapht this group into something. God Bless mystery crafter's soul, assuming he/she has departed this earth. Why else would bags of this stuff show up at thrift? There were four more bags that I passed up. 

I first ventured into the subject nearly 10 years ago on my post lets-talk-uglies. No one will talk about it! So hush, hush. "Just use up the fabric honey ..." in my best fabric-police voice. 

Let's face it, some people don't have an eye for color or how to "marry" fabric. Ugly fabric turns into ugly quilts. 

I am chuckling to myself as I write this. Lawd knows I have made some abysmal quilts, especially early on. 

I give credit to the creator who at least tried the craft, even when it turned out ugly.

  1. Those fabrics doesn't look that bad as I think I have seen worst. But I guess even ugly fabrics gets some use.

    Have a lovely day.
