    Finish it then put it away for awhile. Its like childbirth, with time the bad memories fade.

    You could change color of bobbin thread now, then go back with a permanent marker and color in the previous lighter colored stitching...I've done it successfully on small projects but have no idea how much you've completed....got to think outside the box sometimes.

I get really wishy washy where some moments I love it and some moments I hate it. ARGH!!!

    Yes, several times, and those quilts are now UFO's that I don't know if I'll ever finish.
