I really like this ugly fabric, but what to do with it.

jbsstrawberry - I think you're right. It does look like two people
embracing. It's not ugly - it's beautiful! Kinda puts a whole new
light on it.
Thank you for reminding me to look at things from a different angle.

However, I am thinking ... why couldn't you cut it into those 2 1/2 inch squares or even strips ... use it for binding?
put it with an accent color and make half square triangles.
The trick to make it a better accent than distraction is to cut it small enough that the original form is obliterated.
what does it look like if you cut it in strips across what you have pictured, rather than parallel with the design?

I agree with strawberry, if you turn it around, it looks like two people embracing. It would make an awesome totebag or purse and if you have some left over, put a large square in a quilt. The totebag would be a great conversation starter. People will ask what it is and you can ask what they see. A variety of answers have been given already. Have fun with it. Now, I want some.
