    I made a top a long time ago that I had put away because I did not like it. I ended up using it as the backing to another quilt and it worked out great. This way I did not waste the money or the efford. If the new top is a different size, you can adjust the back by adding or cutting off.

    I think it is pretty. Someone in a nursing home would be happy to receive it. Nice of KSellers to offer to quilt it for you.

    finish it to the best of your ability. don't tell anyone what is wrong with it, and chances are they will never know. only God makes perfect things.

    i think it is very pretty. i like the colors. and quilts will grow on you once they are quilted and done.

    I love your quilt, but since you don't I think your doing the right thing by sending it off to someone that will finish it off and then get it donated to a good place. I am sure there are lots of people that would love that quilt.

    I have said it before and I will say again, Quilters are the most kindest and generous group of people there are, thank you KSellers for doing that, some charity will be so grateful for such a lovely quilt.
