What to do with FQ that were gifted but are poor fabric quality.
#1
For my birthday one of my sweet children gifted me a FQ pack that has cute colors but is of very poor quality. It is about 7 FQ and cost him $10. He works minimum wage. So the thought of him spending the money of something I do not feel like using makes me feel even worse. Do I ask him if he still has the receipt and try to return it? I am worried about hurting his feelings but one of my DD thinks he'll be fine. I just feel bad.

He very specifically got something he felt like you would appreciate. Don't spoil his thoughtfulness and generosity!

I agree with Mom-6. Whatever you make with it will make him SO proud to have purchased it for you.
Make a tablerunner or wallhanging...something that won't get washed often...I've used "less than LQS quality" fabrics before...they still look pretty...might not last as long, but they're pretty...

DS is a real sweetie and kind of special ed so I definitely think his feelings should go above anything. What was I thinking of returning it?
I am going with all your advice and am keeping it. The colors are very workable. OK an ideas on what to do with 7 FQ?
