Show Us Your Ugliest Quilt

Fess up -- do you have an ugly quilt tucked away in a closet or box where no one will ever see it? I'd sure appreciate it if you would drag it out and take a photo. "Ugly" quilts are a perfect learning tool for new quilters -- seeing your mistakes (and mine) will help them avoid doing the same thing.

I can't legally reproduce your images without this form, but submission is a two-step process. . Once you've clicked "submit" to send the form, attach your photo to an email to me at quilting@aboutguide.com. Please send images that are at least 500 x 500 pixels -- larger is fine. Include the quilt name and your name in the email to help me match-up photos quickly, and put "ugly quilt" in the subject line. I receive lots of form submissions that do not match up to photos. You must send me the photo by email.

This form must include your first and last names and your email address, but they will not be published. You can choose your real name or a nickname for the photo credit. Forum members might want to use their Forum ID by itself, or in addition to the credit tagline.

It's fine if you want to stay completely anonymous. So how about it -- will you show us your ugliest quilt?

Tell us about your quilt. Was it your first. How would you change it if you made it again? Tell us anything you would like to share about "mistakes" you made during its construction, because it's the boo-boos that help us all improve our skills.
