ugly fabric challenge

Ok, so when I started this blog, I intented to post more often than I have.  Life gets in the way.  I have been busy dyeing recently, playing with lots of fun techniques.  An online dyers group I belong to had an ugly fabric challenge. One of the member sent out fabric to anyone who wanted to participate, and you had to modify the fabric in at least one way.  The first photo shows the fabric I started with.  (I didn't think it was so ugly, just a little plain).  It was a nice orange, almost a full yard.  My first step was to discharge the smaller circles.  I then printed larger circles with thickened dye in a light brown, and lastly scribbled on the quilt in fucshia.  I love the end result.  I can't wait to figure how I will someday use this piece.
