Thread: I'm already tired of it!

I am about halfway through a SAS that I have had in the UFO stack for several years. I bought all the material, started one corner (the green blocks) and put it away for when I had "more time." It doesn't have a recipient, just me. I think they are beautiful and wanted to do one. Now I realize they are very repetitive, seriously demanding on accuracy, and require LOTS of pieces! This one is disappointing for 2 reasons, outside of the labor required. It's too white and the theme fabric is overwhelmed by the solid colored diamonds. Wish I'd reversed the fabrics. You can see the edge of the dark teal. There is a purple band between the dark teal and the dark blue. The dark blue is not spatially correct. It's actually the lower right hand corner. I know several of you have made this pattern. Any suggestions or encouragement at this stage?

WoW, that's really pretty -- if it were me and i learned enough lessons from it and i couldn't bring myself to finish it, i would make a wallhanging out of it OR it's off to the donation box!...LOL .....you're not alone -- i've got a STACK of UFOs!!! i've just forgotten where they are!

I have balled up a UFO before and threw it in a donation box and have never felt guilty about it. It sounds like it's time for you to do the same.

Please don't do THIS! Offer it to someone here who would like to have it. It's way too pretty to waste.

If it were mine, I'd just bite the bullet and get it done. It's lovely!

You could always complete it and then dye it?

I think it's beautiful as well! I also think that you can plan your quilting to accent the focus fabric and really make it pop. I love the white and hope you decide to finish it. I think Emma is right... Maybe take a little break from it and work on something else until you can look at it with fresh eyes.
