I find that when I go back to finish a ufo it usually is the last thing done to it was somehow wrong. When I back off that last thing, I like it again and change it to what benefits the overall look of the quilt. I also get many donations for charity to finish up and it is because they get frustrated at some point and give up on it. It turns out to be a lovely quilt when it is finished. Once a top was so odd but beautiful at the same time. I cut it up into a tote bag and it was very popular at the silent auction there was a bidding war over it. Let me clarify, because there are so many generous lovely souls who make and donate lovely tops with nothing at all wrong with them. I was speaking of unusual occurrences.
If you really are going to give up on your pretties, give them to a charity quilter in your area. I am sure you can find a worthy cause to support who would gladly accept them and feel good about releasing it from your hidden place.
