“What was I thinking?” – The Ugly Quilt Contest
June 11th, 2009
We’ve all done it… made or started a quilt we hated once we got into the project. Whether it was poor fabric choices, a pattern that just didn’t turn out how you envisioned or a technique that got the better of you.
Enter the “What was I thinking?” – The Ugly Quilt Contest. Here’s your chance to share your blunders with the world and win cool prizes too.

Oh Michelle!
You are going to get some amazing pictures. We all have at least one in our closet. Including one of my when I dig it out of the not finished cupboard. I can’t wait to see your response. It will be fun.

Anyone else seeing a trend here?
Note to self: Avoid use of purple fabric. Especially when on painkillers.

As Michele’s Mom, I don’t even sew buttons on or do any type of sewing period. ( I save these projects for when Michele comes!)
I can’t vote on this contest because all the entries look beautiful to me. I love the colours, patterns, and appreciate the work it took to make these quilts.
I look forward to seeing who wins this contest from the eyes of experienced quilters.
Good Luck to everyone…the prizes look and sound wonderful!
Nice!
