I love it and if you want it in a quilt use light weight enterfacing to iron on back and cut to quilt with. I have done this before and the quilt is still retaining its shape after being washed over a dozen times now. Good luck with your choice as to what you do with the fabric. Or I would love to buy it.

Here's what someone suggested when i showed them my "ugly quilt."
Cut it up and re-arrange the pieces, add new fabrics where you see fit.
I did this and the results were surprising. It makes your new quilt look more complicated and , actually, now I like it. (Think of a strip quilt, for example.)
