I have done that a couple times over my 30 years of quilting. One I ended up giving to an animal rescue. I later saw the quilt made into a coat for a bull dog. That was a good feeling for a quilt I did not like. The other one was a flannel quilt that I made and when I got the top finished I just did not like the look and feel. I gave the top away to someone who would finish it and love it. These thing do happen from time to time. Have you tried to figure a boarder that would pull the flower colors forward? A good boarder can make all the difference.
