Interesting question. I had orphan fabric purchased on line like you did. I used a practice project and it came to life and found a home! Another piece I used as a back and it also came to life!

I've used pieces that I didn't like to make sample blocks or let DGD have it. Used a "what was I thinking" piece one time for a sample block and it turned out of be gorgeous!

So... what would you do with 1 yard of orphan fabric?

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Can you show a picture of the fabric?

Find it some friends and make a quilt

Another quilter you know may love it and would trade with you.

Yup! Stash it......I've found many "ugly" pieces of fabric that perfectly fit at times......from my stash. Or you could use it as a backing or may mug rugs or.....etc., etc., etc.
