Everyone sees fabric and colors diffrently. What one hates, another will love. I buy things I like at the time, but later when I'm sorting for a project, I toss some aside and put them in a tote labeled 'What was I thinking" !! I make lots of nursing home quilts, so now and then I'll use one of those and it's not so bad after all. You can't imagine what the older generation thinks is pretty!! We let each resident chose among the pile, and this last time the first quilt chosen was one I made with rooster feather fabric. You just never know.
