Well I have always marched to the beat of my own drum as they say, I am a person that usually gravitates toward dark colors black being my favorite. That being said there is just something about this fabric that I am attracted to. I have went back and looked at it several times, I think it is beautiful!

If you don't like it, I suggest you not try to use it....because you won't be all that pleased with the outcome. Even one of those cool ideas OBW, Seattle streets, etc. uses the fabric in quantity. Send it to one of the ladies who likes it. Maybe they'll swap you for something else. If you just want the challenge of using an "ugly" fabric, cut it into really small pieces and mix it with other things. Just MHO.

Bordering with black is a great idea.

I like it. It screams OBW. Or at least HST.
