I have made two that were "seemed like a good idea at the time," One was a mystery quilt I did in a class. Hate it but had a great time with my friends. second was to be a baby quilt for friend. The fabric was so cute but when I pieced it, it was horrible. Also, we see our quilts up close, all the details, and know where we messed up. Back up and look at it from across the room, then it usually looks great. Third, if you hate a project, why do you want to spend any more time on it. Life is too short. Either think of it as a lesson on technique or color. Then take it to your guild meeting and offer it up for free to someone else. Or our guild has a trash for treasure sale, sell it there.
