Ugly Quilts...

When I started quilting I read a book called
"How NOT to Make A Prize Winning Quilt"
by

I laughed hilariously.
I then visited her website where she hosted
an "Ugly Quilt" contest.

These quilts where UGLY!!!

Now there is a blog I love to watch and read.
This blog is Stash Manicure
On this blog they are having their version of an "Ugly Quilt" contest
This isn't really a contest but more of an exchange
We get a brown bag of fabrics - totalling 2 yards
from someone else's stash and we have to make a quilt of this fabric

I thought it sounded like fun -
and quite a challenge
so I joined.

If you are interested head on over and join the Brown Bag contest!
I imagine you won't have an Ugly Quilt!

Tara,

Thanks for visiting me on Stash Manicure today. I don't have a pattern for the applique I'm doing. I saw something similar to it though at a quilt guild meeting I went to a year or two ago (they gave everyone instructions on how to do applique and that was the sample they had.) So I just made up some templates for how I remembered the design and went for it. It's simple - just some circles, some leaves and some stems (made with my 3/8" bias tape maker.) Glad you liked it!

Thanks again,
Amber Johnson
