I might a block or two, but not if I've already got the top to the point I could quilt it. I've yet to have any quilt not find a home, no matter how much I disliked it personally.

I just spent hours ripping apart hexagons I'd sewn in pairs and a few sets. Decided that I'd never finish the quilt if I kept dealing with hexagons. It's a GFG, with flowers and then green "leaves" between them. I had the flowers all done, and sewed the blue hexi row around them, and then trimmed it so it was one big hexi. I cut setting triangles out of another green and sewed them on to make rows.

This is a quilt my mother had started about 40 years ago, and a lot of the hexies had been cut. I was able to retrim the hexies into 2.5" squares and use them for another project. I have not quilted the top yet, but after 40 years, it is ready for that step! After trimming, I had about 250 blue and 300 green squares.
