I recently took apart a quilt I made 25+ years ago that was also poorly done....but I still liked the fabric colors.
The quilt was too puffy -- I NEVER use polyester batting any more.
There was no separate binding -- just the backing pulled to the front, a thick mess in my opinion.
The machine quilting was very minimal -- much less than it really needed.
I will remake that thing and use it as my lap quilt for nights just like this cold, windy one, when I'm sitting here playing on the computer. I'll still have the memories of it, but will also believe that "when I knew better, I did better."
I hope you keep yours if there's any part of it you still like.
