I've made & given quite a few quilts while I was working. Lots of baby quilts & wedding lap quilts for co-workers was the majority of my quilts. All were used & loved with one exception. I did make a baby quilt that the father of the baby was so impressed with it that he wanted to hang it in the baby's room & not use it. Now, I'm not sure if they "never" used it but I hope that at some point they did.
If your sewing machine has a serpentine stitch on it, that makes for good quilting on a quilt. Even though you are not so happy with the top, just know that there is someone out there that would love to have it.
