OMG! I thought the same thing when I saw it!
Try cutting a strip from it, like 2-1/2". Then sew a 4 patch and see what it looks like. You may find that sewn into something small like that will change how you see it. I think when you sew it with another color you find it is not ugly at all and you will like it. let us know what you do with it!

I like it also, can be used in borders, applique, backing...so many wonderful choices. Can't beat the price :-D

I wound up giving all but 1 yd. to Jo M. I didn't have any plans for it but I will use it in a scrappy next I make one. I really do love to share my stash whether it is ugly or pretty.

Looks like it would make a good backing for a landscape quilt.

No such thing as ugly fabric, it all fits somewhere. I bet you find a gazillion uses for it

I's not ugly to me and I think it would be nice as a backing or a blender.

I like the 'texture' of it. Suggests forest floor, or desert shadows.
