PamelaW Trash to Treasure - I started this project the summer of 2004, using fabric I had on hand but didn't like, thinking it would probably end up in the trash. Well it did work and I was stuck with what I was now calling the Ugly Quilt. I had help picking out border fabrics and hoped while I hand quilted it, I would start to like it. No such luck until, I put it through the washer and dryer for the first time. I spent alot of time on it and was eager to see it clean and dry. When I pulled it out of the dryer the fabric had bled through the backing and all the stiched were red/orange, I was sick! I put it back through the wash and said a prayer. It came out beautiful - From Trash to Treasure!!
