I wonder what you consider a "dud." Is it one that you don't like the colors or the particular blocks in the setting. It is possible that someone would really like it and would keep them warm. If an occasional point is cut off in the seam, it will probably never be noticed by the recipient. I have seen quilts posted here on QB that the maker was not really happy with it or that there were some error or another (block twisted) that it takes a long while, if ever, to recognize.
