Y'know, I was given a bug-ugly half yard (!!!!) for one of these challenge projects - it was medium grey mauve background with olive-brown and grey-khaki "dashes" and medium blue yuck impressionist flowers. I used it as a lining for a cathedral windows purse I made with brighter (read "far more attractive") versions of the colors for one project I submitted (the lining looked like a darker version of the purse's outside colors), and as the backing for a FQ sized quilt. I won for the cathedral window project but then they changed the rules so that in the next Ugly Fabric challenge it had to be visible on the front of the project.
I'd make a project with "attractive" versions of the colors in this fabric and use the UFQ fabric as the binding - you'll only see 1/4" to 3/8" of it, and the narrow visibility of it could lend just a little interest and movement to the rest of the project.
