An ugly fabric challenge initiated in April 2009 for members of The African American Quilting Guild of Oakland. Twenty-six quilts were displayed for an exhibition at the Lake Merritt Public Library, for the entire month of August 2009. I choose to make my notion of an ugly fabric twist and expand the silly notion by using <a href="http://www.showstudio.com/projects/ddlmcqueen/download.html">Alexander McQueen Kimono DIY pattern</a> available online via showstudio.com. Quilting and assembling McQueen's pattern was a square mind challenging exercise releasing making sense and the sashiko stone wheel stitching was an required meditative accent.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2434275199833847708-5476670523298840327?l=alexandermcqueenkimono.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>C.
