I got my "ugly" fabric from Pam last week. Those of us in the group are challenged to use 90% of the two yards of fabric we exchanged to make an item. I sent Pam some "interesting" selections, and she sent me these:
The front print is a "feedsack" variant; and the two "little prints" are Cranston VIP fabrics. Probably from the late 70s or '80s, I would guess. I haven't quite figured out the orange yet, but it's a funky paisley.....
What is interesting is that I just bought some Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy prints. These are a few of them from the set of fat quarters I got:
I paired all of them up and here's the combination:
I think this is going to be fun....and I haven't even been into my "stash" yet. It will be fun to figure out how to work these fabrics into a "whole."
Just an intriquing little problem for a Monday.
Have a great week,
Kathy

What fun, you were quick to see the potential in those fabrics too. They look great with your FMF cuts, looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Now these aren't ugly fabrics! I think you have a wonderful selection there.
They all go together beautifully! Ugly fabrics make the most gorgeous quilts.
You're so lucky! Those fabrics look great! Can't wait to see what you do with them.
