About 8 years ago our guild had Blanche Young (an international teacher) as a speaker. Her lecture was: "I Love Ugly Fabric". If you looked closely at the individual pieces they were ugly, however, she made some gorgeous quilts with them.
I'm not sure I could manage to do so well.

Linda B you are a genius the way you matched that fabric. Very cool, I can see why your fellow shopper was gaga over them. Hope you sold her one...lol.

Quilting arts did a whole segment using the "voodoo ladies" fabric. They colorwashed panels of the fabric and made an "Andy Warhol" Marilyn Monroe sort of wall hanging with it. It actually turned out quite nice, but not my particular taste.

I have finally decided that it is, truly, ugly.

I'm with your family...you have to ask yourself what was the person that designed this smoking?
