Purses, and tote bags, and place mats. I use discarded fabric memos which are often sunbrella or heavier fabrics and find those items make good use of them.

Have you ever thought about doing a bargello quilt using the fabric? I think it would be beautiful! You could stagger the strips, using light, dark , light, dark,or something like that.:)

Those are all nice actually! Even the big pieces could be cut into squares, then added to scrap quilts. Or add co-ordinating color blocks to them & you might actually like them in something. I like that saying, there is no ugly fabric, it just hasn't been cut into a small enough square! LOL! Works for me, nice haul, lucky you!...

SWEEEET! The ones you called "ugly" would make a great OBW or clothesline fabric backets. I agree with Bonnie Hunter on the uglies, "there are no ugly fabrics, you just haven't cut them small enough!" Get busy!

Score!!! The "hideous" fabric (which I don't think is hideous at all) would make lovely kaleidoscope blocks!
