I think the point most are making, gaigai, is ...please don't just throw it away or store it. Either tie it, and then give it away, or send it along to a person who does charity quilts who will then finish it somehow and give it away or get it to the quilt shop and let them finish it.
The title sounds like you plan on throwing it away. That idea pains most of us...too expensive of a hobby to do that. :)
