Fungly finish

I have finished my fungly quilt! It was a challenge on Tonya's blog to use ugly, fun and boring fabrics to make traditional blocks in a quick way. I really enjoyed making the blocks, and using up some of the ugly fabrics (mainly donated to Project Linus) was a great feeling.



I struggled a bit when it came to the borders. I auditional lots of different colours and designs (the solids were best) and in the end decided that more was best. I will donate this to project Linus, as I think an older child will hopefully find this a fun quilt. Unusually, this is one quilt that DD does not like. She says it shouldn't be called 'fungly' but 'fugly'. Since fungly is a portmanteau word comprised of fun + ugly, maybe you can guess the roots of fugly!

I like it a lot. Your choice on the border really works well. I say Fungly not Fugly. Lol.
