Once I think it's ugly ,it usually stays ugly. However, I am sewing together some 2" squares into an eventual scrappy quilty-something-or-other (not sure yet what it will be). Some of them I KNOW I wouldn't choose but since they were given to me that size, I'm adventuring with them as "leaders and enders" so far. But if I have fabric I don't like any more, or am bored with, or can't see ever using, out it goes. If it doesn't bring me up, I don't want it taking up valuable real estate.
