Most quilts are either "The Good, The Bad (colloquial for fabulous), or The Ugly". This quilt definitely falls in the last category. I have debated since 2016 if I should even finish it. But then I envisioned it in the far distant future of a doctoral graduate student writing his/her dissertation on the world's ugliest fabric; and when it was researched, that fabric was hidden in this quilt. So, in the interest of scientific research, I finished the quilt. Here is my "Wild Child".

I thought the "fussy cutting" might help the quilt, but I don't think redemption happened. So, in the end, why not use the ugliest fabric in my stash for the binding?

Can you pick your favorite ugliest fabric?
It's a lot more enjoyable to be a quiltmaker than a research scientist.
