Default Icky - Unsuitable - Ugly

When someone says "quilting fabric" - the first thing that comes to my mind is a woven cotton.

Then, within the "woven cotton quilting fabric " - i have a narrower definition - but I don't know how to put that definition on paper.

Anyway - I do have some fabrics that I consider "quilting fabric" - but I do not like them for any number of reasons.

Some of reasons:

harsh finish
loosely woven - flimsy feeling
yucky color (what was I thinking when I acquired those pieces? - I remember - I was acquiring pieces for a charm quilt - that is still in pieces. I busily cut a four inch triangle from many many pieces.)
too tightly woven
just don't like it anymore

I have purged the too loosely woven pieces - a couple of which I purchased at LQS - for the color -

Do any of you have pieces that are in the "if i would have known then what I know now" - category?
