Ugly Fabric Challenge Upcoming in September. . .

Bigfork Quilts, Etc. was opened with fabric purchased from the closing of another quilt store.  

The bolt of fabric had been purchased when the other shop had opened and was still full. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to use it as an Ugly Fabric Challenge that will begin in September.  Fat quarters will be available for purchase at that time.

To get your creative juices flowing, Sandi, who works with me at the shop, and I are going to work on our Ugly Fabric Challenge quilts this month and document it here on the website.  These are Sandi's fabrics (of course, with the option of being free to add or subtract as needed).

And a drawing of her quilt design, which will be an appliqued quilt.

These are my fabrics,

and this is the design I will be using (with a few adjustments) from the July/August 2012 Quiltmaker magazine by Gayla Nielsen.  The challenge rules are:  Ugly Fabric must be used at least 3 times; quilt can be no larger than 22" x 22"; must contain three layers; edges must be closed in style of choice.

Keep watching.

Blessings,
