I made a quilt some years ago out of orphan blocks - I thought it was ugly. But, when my niece was moving her family to Minnesota, I let them each take a quilt with them. It was their early Christmas present - they got to pick and I didn't have to ship ... she picked that ugly quilt ... she thought it was beautiful. Proof that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. There was a post (not here I think) about a new guild that was getting started and they were making charity quilts -- they were looking for donations -- I was able to send two tops that I didn't want to finish (they were all assembled, just needed backs and quilting) and a whole stack of UFO blocks. I got the sweetest thank you from them. It felt good to let go of things that I knew I would do nothing with and someone else would.
