Nancy and Shirley, I'm glad you like Lyn Brown's site. She's a great teacher and posts many good things on her site. Check back again sometime. I attend her class weekly and she posts her new patterns on her site often.

My favorite site for scrap quilt patterns and ideas is Bonnie Hunter's quiltville.com site. Mary

WOW! Thanks Joanne....what great and useful links that I'll enjoy for hours.

Joanne, Thanks so much for the link to the great website! What a great resource for straight forward, easy quilts! Nancy

Mary, I can't help you with the Simply Quilts info but here is a place to find great patterns, she has one for ugly fabric too.
http://www.lynbrown.com For a limited time Lyn Brown has a free e-book you can download that contains 18 of her patterns for 9 1/2" squares of fabric. We did several 9 1/2" swaps a month in her class and she's providing all the patterns in one e-book. They're easy patterns and not to be missed! http://lynbrown.com/?p=1418#more-1418 (for the e-book)

The Ugly Duckling quilt pattern is here:

An old Simply Quilts episode featured a woman who was giving a class in her home using ugly fabrics. The block she used featured the ugly fabric on half of a square. The other half, I believe, had quarter square triangles. I think one of the quarter sq triangles matched the ugly fabric and the others complimented it. My question is, does anyone remember this show and what the layout/arrangement of the blocks was. Was there a name for the block? This blocked used scraps. If no one remembers, does anyone have a simple block/pattern for scraps?
