Yep, that's pretty ugly alright. It makes me wonder what the makers were thinking. I was given an ugly fat quarter at a quilt camp one time. I thought they were giving them away because they couldn't sell them. I still have it laying around not knowing what to do with it.

I can tell you what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't fussy cut it. Maybe if you cut it up small enough and use it, it might not look so bad.

match the colors with other fabric and use it for a strip quilt.

If you really don't like it you probably won't like anything you make with it. So why waste fabric trying? Everything you tried to make with it in it you'd think. "That's that UGLY FQ!" And you would be ashamed to give something away made with an UGLY FQ. Give it to Goodwill.If no one wants to buy it, they will sell it to a rag merchant.Or dust with it.

OBW sounds like a good idea since you can't throw it away. Sounds like a challenge project.

If you truly can't throw it away make a pincushion out of it - you probably don't want to make a Voodoo doll.

OBW would be my thought. I have never made one but the concept and the fabric I think would really look nice
