These are 5 wonderful strategies to help you deal with fabric that has been sitting around forever, and seems like it will never be used. There are many reasons these fabrics become ugly in your eyes, maybe the print is too big, maybe the colors are have become your least favorite, or maybe you picked them up in a bundle and you never liked them. Many would ask why you would even want to make a quilt with fabric that you think is ugly? The answer is quite simple, quilts are precious to us, and you can use a quilt that you consider less than beautiful, in all kinds of ways that you would never use one of your prize quilts. The ugly quilt can go on picnics, wrap up your pets, or be taken to the hospital to cheer up a loved one. Soon the ugly quilt may hold more precious memories than your beautiful quilts.
