For our last Metro Mod Meeting, we exchanged "ugly" fat quarters
with the challenge to make them pretty.
I got this lovely piece of fabric from Helen,
which I don't think is ugly at all.
Look at all those wonderful colors!
Every color of the rainbow!How could I go wrong?
So I sliced it up and put in some separating strips
Not too bad . . . but needs more.
So I sliced it the other way and flip flopped the strips.
I think I made it ugly. I did learn a few things.
I should have started with all different widths of strips with the fat quarter. I cut them all 2 inches to start with.
And I didn't need to put that blue border on the edges
before cutting and sewing everything together.
So what to do with it next?? I'll think on that a bit.
That fat quarter certainly does not qualify as ugly in my book either. Maybe if you ripped out a few of your last horizontal seams and joined those strips in a different place? (So the vertical color stripes are not as prominent???)
ReplyDeletehmmm, now where did I put my ugly fat quarter? rats.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea... lost it!! or maybe it wasn't that ugly!
Lisa, use it as made fabric, cut it up and go from there... ;-)
