I think that the bigger the quilt or the more pieces in the quilt, the less your eye will keep going to the occasional ugly one.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063217257923006591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-49100692945181215842010-06-15T18:54:40.222-05:002010-06-15T18:54:40.222-05:00Even when I have gotten "ugly" fabrics i...Even when I have gotten "ugly" fabrics in a swap, I still can't use them.

Especially if it's an antique-looking reproduction. But I can't bring myself to deliberately buy fabric I don't like. <br /><br />Maybe we should all join Tara's charm exchange and get some ugly prints that way! Then we don't have to buy them, we can just swap 'em!Kathleen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793289458143493332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-43333836782731112552010-06-15T17:11:04.284-05:002010-06-15T17:11:04.284-05:00Your quilts are so beautiful, lovley colours and p...Your quilts are so beautiful, lovley colours and patterns. I totally agree with you about ugly fabrics. I´ve learnd that they don´t become pretty amongst other pretty fabrics.

However, hopefully she was kind enough to "give" them to you, so you don't have to send any back!

I have to say I've used some fabrics that I never would have bought individually (they were either given to me or were in a charm pack) and most of the time once they were in a quilt, they were fine. But I have come across a few that I've just given away too.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678326070918510419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-83697000661408042202010-06-15T04:30:24.646-05:002010-06-15T04:30:24.646-05:00oh thats so exciting to get a package like that!
