Default Disappointment

How do you deal with disappointment in a quilt you've made?

I just finished quilting one and I am just ugh over it. It's so bad I just want to throw it away and not bind it. I swear since the moment I cut into the charm pack things went wrong. From a mistep cutting to being unable to match my navy when I ran out (two different stores and checked every bolt of solid navy there including the same brand I originally bought). Seam issues when making the top. Border issues that turned into creative license. Making the sammich was an issue. Thread problems. That one is all me. What I thought would look good doesn't. The first time I quilted it I got 3/4 of the way done and ripped it out to redo it. Now I'm really unhappy and just want to throw the dang thing away and move on. I have plenty of side projects I can do instead. But I know I can't do that. So I need to deal with it.

If it looked better I would give it away as a Christmas gift but right now it's barely fit for my dog to snuggle under.

I will add a picture of it in a bit. My boss wants to play in her toy box lol.
