Sew up the fabric (good experience) and the quilt (even better expierence) if you still don't like it....donate it to charity and know you will keep someone warm.....what more could you ask.....Quilting/Sewing/ Designing/shopping are all on a learning curve....the more we DO the better we get...and it never stops, I have been sewing for well over 50 years and I still get better with each passing day......DO NOT BERATE YOURSELF......every expierence is a learning tool, some are just better than others......................
