Default My First UFO

I have been working on a quilt about three weeks. First of all the colors that looked good at the store didn't look good put together. Anyone ever have that happen? I was trying "quilt as you go" and didn't like the way it looked plus I have waaay too many mistakes. The fabric I had chosen for spacing between blocks was homespun, so it had a looser weave and I never could get flat edges with it. I kept telling myself I would finish it. I had to just add the border, FMQ that, add the binding, and I was done. So I was adding the border today and realized I didn't have enough fabric for the border or binding. At that point I threw in the towel, not just a hand towel, but a beach towel! A new layer cake I had ordered arrived yesterday and I moved on to that!
