Cut it into 1.25" and 1.5" strips, and use it in a strip quilt. I took a class at a local quilt show once where the lady had taken these varying widths of strips and sewn them diagonally onto a paper backing (she used 6.5" or 8.5" pages from old telephone books, because they tear off so easily), always using the same light (or white) color for the center strip. Then she put them together in several different patterns - amazing the variety! - and voila - a lovely quilt from ugly scraps. This fabric would make a perfect candidate. You don't even have to match colors, because the strips are so narrow, the color-clash looks interesting, rather than ugly.
