Joy B has selected some ugly fabric to include in the "What's for Dinner" challenge. The goal is to make a quilt that somehow represents food and incorporate the "ugly" fabric into your project. Fat quarters of the "ugly" fabric will be avaialable at the monthly meeting at no charge. If you wish to use more than a fat quarter you may purchase extra.
