I think that's why I always have several projects going at the same time--and some do get put aside! if after digging the project box out several times I'm still ho-hum, I either put the fabric into my stash for something later, or if everything about it blah to me, then I put it into our Guild garage sale. But I have found that sometimes after it sits there for several (or more) months I get inspired to finish it, or I think of someone that would maybe like it and that inspires me.

If you decide to abandon your project, don't forget how many little projects you can use that leftover jelly roll for.

Make other blocks (same size) using the same fabric with a different design. Then make it into an orphan block quilt.

For an idea for the future, go on Amazon and buy a book that is out of print (One Block Says It All). It has several quilts that are basically just one large block with borders. So much fun to make and not boring at all.

If you are certain you will never want to work on it again, pass it on to a friend who would like to finish it.

When I run into a situation like that I use the "offending" block as filler between other projects. When I only do 1 or 2 blocks it is not such a big deal as having to do an entire quilt top. You'll be amazed at how fast you'll have all your paws in a stack.

Sometimes even your quilt isn't finished, you are finished with your quilt. Many great artists have left unfinished works.

If I really hated it I'd give it away or sell it to one of my sisters.

Bear paw blocks make great borders, either inner or outer. Best wishes whatever you decide.

Make pot holders or mug rugs out of them. Or string a few together and make a table runner. I'm sure you can take the blocks you've made and re-purpose them. The leftover fabric can be used in another project.

Material Witness

Some quilter who doesn't have extra money to buy fabric may consider it a godsend. By gifting it to a quilter, money is not wasted.
