The center quilt was done with the same fabrics as mine. You can see the variety of items entered.

This one was done with the same fabric as my mothers

These are pictures of some of the items that were submitted. I forgot my camera the day I went so these are taken with my phone.

Update on just for fun

Sorry to say I didn't win any big prizes for my entering the Ugly fabric contest. I did get a five dollar gift certificate, so that OK. They said next time they do the contest they are going to have categories. Which I think will make it better. There were so many cute and clever items made. It is amazing how talent some people are.

Just for fun


Just for fun I entered a ugly quilt contest. I bought a bag at the Calico House quilt store. They had the main fabric tied around the outside of the bag and I didn't know what the other colors were in the bag. This was the colors I had in my bag. The paisley fabric was the main color. We could make a small quilt or hand bag or garment. The only requirement was we had to use 1/2 yard of the main fabric and had to have the other colors in the project. We could add to the fabrics.

This is what I decided to make for my project. They are on display in the store from May 5 to the end of May. They are going to have customers vote on the projects and are going to give out gift cards as rewards. Will find out who the winners are in June.
