Check Out These Uglies!

 

Now that the Cotton Patch Quilters show is over and I have finished my entries for the Best of the Valley Quilt Show, it is time to spend some time sewing some items for my home. I need several utility quilts to throw over my huge ottoman and the back of my couch where Miss Kitty likes to perch. You can bet that I am not going to use my good fabrics for that. No, it’s time to pull out the uglies.

These don’t look all that bad in the photos, but they are washed-out, off-colored, and blurry-printed fabrics. I don’t know what I was thinking when I bought them.

I am cutting them all into 4 inch squares and fusing them to Pellon Quilter’s Grid.

They just keep multiplying…

This one is a really blurry print.

This one is just plain ugly.

These fabrics have been taking up a lot of my storage space. It will be good to get them off the shelves.
