Hey, not everything comes out the way we want it to. Funny, my tablerunners are always worse than my quilts. I think because I get in a hurry due to the small size. I just need to slow down and take the same care with the runners as I do with large quilts. I have a "shadowplay" UFO in my drawer. I need to trash it too. I hate my fabric choices. It happens.
Keep quilting. A year is not a long time to throw the towel in?
