The Ugly One
Summer 1999
Vintage Inspired Quilts
I remember receiving some fat quarters as a gift from a close friend. I will be honest I thought one of them was ugly. A few years later when looking for a border for these four vintage blocks that same piece of fabric became the perfect fabric...I no longer consider it ugly and every time I see it it reminds me that every fabric looks great somewhere so when I am adding to my stash I even add ugly ones.
