I think that we all use the fabric we can afford, and that's all anyone can ask of us.
I do have one fabric that I loved when I saw it online, so bought several yards. When it arrived, I took one look at it and said to my husband, "These are supposed to be Christmas sky stars - they look like bulletholes in car windshield glass at night!" He agreed!
Whatever will I do with that? Should have sent it back, but didn't. Luckily, it was on sale. One of these days, I will find something to do with it.
