Ugly, unfinished object. It just didn't quite turn out like what I pictured in my head. I'd think, 1) When I get ALL the blocks sewn together, it'll look better.
2) When I get the borders on it, it'll look better. Nah. It looks even more hideous than before.It's now a completed top. Now I"m thinking, "It'll look better when its quilted." I've invested so much time in the thing I kind of hate to stop now. And I'd have to toss it because I can't stand UFOs lying around.
I'm wondering. Has anyone ever just given up on a quilt mid-way through? Or do you just keep plugging, finish it, and give it to the dog or what?
Please don't suggest I finish it and give it to someone. You just have to understand how horrid it really is. It's a "Sweet 16" pattern (which I love)....and I chose different watermelon fabrics. What WAS I thinking. Oy. The only way I'd consider giving it away is if I could think of someone who likes to go camping, and would like a really garish, knock-around quilt. I can hear it now. Neighborhing campers would refer to them as "You know. The people with the watermelon quilt."
