Scrappy Crappy!


I HAVE to enter in the Ugly Quilt contest. I am at my mom's and this one I made for her is pretty dang ugly. I have one at home (in Texas) that is worse than this one but I can't get a picture of it right now.
So here goes! The Scrappy Crappy Quilt. I think it was my very first or maybe the second quilt I have ever made and I gave it to my mom....lol. As you can see the fabric in no way goes together. They are all flower prints in different colors...lol

Now you are probably thinking "Oh, thats not so bad" Hahaha, well it gets better, or should I say worse!

Here is pucker number one! And point chop number one!

Pucker and Point Chop number two!
Hey! I managed to keep my points on this one...too bad they never met! Oh and surprise surprise yet another pucker!
Oh wait! It gets worse! I tried to do some fancy quilting, well I drew the quilting design on with a fabric pen! Duh! So its like I drew a picture on the quilt!
At least the back isn't pieced. Its the only thing that isn't messed up on this quilt. But I'm sure you can see the crappy binding....oh well. It was my very first quilt and never took any lessons before. I think the funniest thing about this quilt is that it took me probably a good month to make! Hopefully I have improved a little since this one.
Leave a comment if you love to hate my quilt just like me, maybe even become a follower. I promise I'm not so bad anymore...lol xoxo

Yep....initially I thought...not so bad...not ugly...but then you went and spoiled it and took some close ups and then it struck me...you are pretty bad at quilting and concluding indeed it is one ugly quilt...And really I am amazed that anyone can make anything ugly considering the millions of yards of fabric too choose from ....bless you for the laugh and share..madame samm ps. I am sure you have improved wink
