Can this top be saved?

Who is this quilt for? If it's for some teenage son, complete it as is, and he'll love it. If it's for you, well, you're going to hate the quilt, and I don't blame you. Too busy for me as well. I think the suggestion to finish it and donate it to the Linus Project is the best suggestion, if you don't have your own boy. This is a boy's quilt. A boy will love it. Water it down with sashing, and you're still going to get a quilt you hate, trust me on that one. This quilt was meant for a boy.

I have been quilting over 30 years and just love it. Any little boy would love it also. Don't be so hard on yourself. Next time try sashing. It is great as youngsters love "action" as well as action figures. While working, just think about how excited a little boy will be when he sees it. Just keep going knowing there will be excitement at the end. If you don't want it, I would finish it, even though I only have girls. It is sthat good. Don't stop.

Yes, it is very busy, but you could frame some of the pictures with almost solid reds, yellows, green, etc, the colors that are in the fabric and then arrange them to form a line, zig zag, etc. ( with the sashing I mean). It is very workable. Nice of you to do that for your hubby.
