    Your blocks look super but they do look hard to keep straight!

    That is a very pretty quilt, definitely worth finishing!

    Put that thing in the time- out spot for a while,go buy some wine...or visit a fabric store....and come back to it. Or...you could mail it to me and I would finish it up for you...

    I did this quilt as well. I made 4 quilts out of it. It was just too busy for my liking. Good luck

    Don't feel bad. We all have a UFO stashed in our closet that we will never get to. Mine is a GFG.

    I would have been upset about the fabric that I purchased as cotton - and it wasn't.

    As far as the bleeding - that is why I now soak everything in hot water for awhile - then wash and dry it.

    It is very pretty. This pattern of Bonnie's wasn't my favorite however. I like the suggestion of finishing it as a smaller quilt, perhaps then gift it to charity???

    That is too beautiful not to finish! Like everyone else says - time-out, more wine, and ever onward.

    Don't give up...your quilt is beautiful...I plan on making the Grand Illusion and have actually started...I gave up on Celtic Soltice but realize I should not have and will get back to it eventually....I also find the diamonds difficult and Bonnie seems to love them...LOL
