Put it together anyway, and how about appliquing flowers, vines, etc over the top?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Put it together anyway, and how about appliquing flowers, vines, etc over the top?
How discouraging to do all that work and not be happy with the outcome. Everyone wants to save $ and use stash, but we time spent sewing on what you don't really like is also costly. Your time is worth a lot. Thanks for the reminder to do what I love in fabrics I love.
I hear ya - I have so little time to quilt I feel compelled to only put projects I love under my needle.
And the last part is such work I wouldn't bother unless I love it completely.
But if you can find a way to love it - even better. Yeah, I'm starting to really reconsider keeping a big stash. I seem to really love the ones that are matched sets from the same collections. I'm starting to build "kits" and there's always some substantial piece missing from my stash darnit.
Good luck! It looks like a nice masculine top to me too, but more black is needed (or a dark color).
If you don't like it, just cut it in to smaller pieces and add to something you love. Make is a challenge to save it.

Hahaha - your comment made me laugh - to "make it a challenge" - we gals are always up for a good challenge, right?Originally Posted by lfstamper

Have you considered a bright wild applique on top of it? Or do a still life picture and use this for a table cloth with a lamp on it, or a tiger (who let my wild side out?) Make it fun, don't give up.
