Sometimes it is best to just let it go and move on to another project! Hope the next one is better suited to you!
I would think that 'sunk cost' could apply to time, too? I see a lot of that on this board. Sort of " I inherited ( was given, found, bought for a dollar - take your pick) this butt ugly polyester fabric. What can I do with it?" Why waste your valuable time trying to make something work just because it was cheap? If you love it BECASUE it's cheap, go for it, but otherwise - get rid of the fabric and the guilt!
