You might consider some of those "ugly" fabrics will work well for a OBW (one block wonder). Some of the prettiest I've seen have started out as "ugly".
I think it was Bonnie Hunter who said that "if it's still ugly you just haven't cut it small enough". Cindi proved that in her lovely quilt 9 patch.
Still, like the others have said, if you aren't going to use it, pass it on to some who will.
