    I can understand your disappointment when it didn't turn out the way you thought it would, but it really is beautiful!

    I think it looks just fine. Why not finish it and donate it. Someone will love it.

    Oh Goodness sake.. it will be a wonderful quilt for someone that doesn't have any quilt at all.. When the tornado swept through Joplin and left us without any blankets at all, I picked up one that had blown out of our hospital I think (because it is a green cotton blanket like they had there) and washed it.. That's what we had. Talk about ugly, a hospital blanket picked up out of the mud and debris is the perfect description of ugly.. I would have cried with joy if someone would have handed me your ugly quilt. (Don't worry, a friend came and took us home to their house so we were okay, but I still have that hospital blanket on our bed.) Finish up the quilt, if you still think it's ugly donate it to the next disaster that hits our nation. I think it's beautiful and someone will be so grateful to have it that you have no idea. It's all a matter of perspective.

    Dear Tfch8184, Please don't beat yourself up about it. We have all been there and done it.It may not be perfect but which of us is ! I have been making an 80th birthdat lap quilt.I have had to machine quilt it because my hands wouldn't allow me to do it by hand in the time given. I do not like the colours, have done it in the shades I think they will like ----- plus the label I have made I have had to re-do FOUR TIMES because I made spelling and date mistakes.That said there is always someone who will like it, maybe give it to a homeless person or someone needing comfort.They will not look for perfection.Be easy on yourself, Love Letty xx

    I like your quilt, however, since it is so upsetting to you, fold it up, and put it away for a week, a month, whatever. If you come back to it and still don't like it, maybe you know of a charitable organization that could use the quilt rather than throwing it in the trash, which would be a real waste. I know that I am my own worst critic and what I think is horrid, others think is terrific. So cut yourself some slack and put it away for another day, then decide what to do with it.

    Finish it and give it to a needy cause. They won't care about your "mistakes". Dont just put it away. Someone can use it. Knowing that it will keep someone warm will warm your thoughts as you work on it.

    i feel your anxiety, lately everything I touch has had a hiccup of some sort or another. I figure they will work out eventually. Hang in there..
