| I don't know why you would ever call the scrap quilt ugly. It's right up my alley and I love it. |

| Oh my, I agree with Calliope. Far from ugly,the scrap quilt is "BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL"! The pattern lines are distinct and the positioning of all royal blue blocks adds punch. I am a big-time fan of scrappy and I really do think this is very pretty! :-) Love the braid too, another favourite and one I'd like to do. |

| I like the 'ugly' quilt as well... |
|
| ME TOO!!! When I saw it I said WOW! When I first started quilting I did not care for scrappy but I love it now. Rosa |

| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your version of ugly is my version of cuddling up in and napping on the couch. I love it too. You've been one busy gal. |

| If your 'ugly' needs a home I'll gladly pay for shipping - I love it...everything about it SCREAMS, I need to live at Digger's house~ Digger - aka Marie in Michigan |

| Jayne, I like the quilt you think is ugly, too. Is there a pattern for it? I've recently come into possession of a box of 2 1/2" squares and this strikes my fancy. SharonG/FL |

| My first thought was "If that is considered ugly, I must have horrible taste." I think it is beautiful and agree, I would love to cuddle up with it. |
|
| Jayne, I like all your projects! That braid looks really tiny...is it machine pieced? I like the scrappy one, too. It looks like you planned the layout well. And I love the colors in the Amish one! Donna |

| I love your scrap quilt! Just the right quilt to curl up under and read a good book. :-) Best to you, |

| I think you did a great job on these Jayne! I have a hard time with giving up control to make a scrappy quilt, but I really like it. Sue |

| It's amazing what you can do with the simple square. I love scrappy, and I love the arrangement of lights and darks. There is a wonderful diamond pattern that is eye catching! The braid is also on my "To Do" list. TFS Julie |

| I appreciate your comments. I really like scrappy quilts a lot but I have issues with My ugly and some of the fabric I used. There is a major mistake that I decided not to correct as I already had the borders on and about to sandwich when I noticed it. Sharon the pattern came from More Nickel Quilts and is called Streak of Lightening. The blocks are:(1) 4 1/2x 2 1/2" pc. with (2) 2 1/2" pcs.. On one block the long pc. is dark and the other block the long pc. is light. Does that make any sence? The braid is pieced on a wash away foundation. The strips a 1/4". It measure 11x 12.5". I had planned on making it a year or so ago but my interest was stimulated with all the beautiful ones people were showing recently. The Amish picture has a wooden frame and the blocks are 4". Ugly doesn't have a home yet, I will keep you in mind digger. |
