This is my lovely entry.... back when Stack N Whack quilts first became popular, I just had to make one. I thought this duck fabric would be cute for a friend's lake cottage.

This was the result!! UGH!

I just didn't like it at all!! So it sits and awaits its fate in my to-do pile..... 
 

What do you think??? Does it deserve a vote in the ugly quilt contest?

  2. Well I'm not a fan of strong greens so you have me on this one but, other than that, I think it's a pretty stunning quilt! But good luck anyway!

  3. Well if you got this much done I think you could finish it and maybe wash it will a little bleach to give it a faded, old look. Call it a vintage quilt!! I bet your friend would love it at her cottage.

  5. LOL! You never know unless you try, right? Really, though I don't think it's so bad. I've certainly done worse.
