eatonjan New York Uglies - A group of friends decided we wanted to get rid of our excess "stash" of what had now become ugly fabrics...to make room for new better ones...so we pooled em all together and each made what came to be affectionately known as the New York Uglies. Since we were using "ugly" fabric, we didn't care how much we used up and cut off or wasted in the paper piecing technique. We were delighted with how beautiful they all came out even though we were all using what we thought of as ugly fabrics. We shared and traded. It's true what they say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
