Welcome from Victoria, Australia.

Love your shaggy quilt. I have had the makings for one for quite a while - now you have renewed my interest.

Hello there fellow aussie! haha. Yes you MUST finish the shaggy quilt it is such a fun thing to make! The snipping around every signle seam is slightly tedious but SO worth it in the end as you sit in the laundromat watching your quilt tumble through the washer then the dryer! Don't wash it at home or your lint collector will be full and I mean FULL haha, my mum was too lazy to go to the laundromat and washed it in our washing machine and dryer and we could literally peel away the lint from the tray...it was as thick as a cake haha
