What do you ladies suggest?

Have had this happened to me too. I finished the tops (only and YES this has happened more than once), then I cut it up into a something else. Strip quilt or Crazy quilt. By the time your done, it will be something different and you just might love it. Good luck

I think it is a lovely quilt. I love blue roses tho! Even have a tattoo of a blue rose on my shoulder - a gift from my dh several years ago. Hope you can find someone or something to give the quilt to.

I think it is beautiful. Maybe some one will trade or buy it from you. List it here on the baord. I am sure I am not the only one that thinks it is very pretty. Lovely colors and layout.

Idea for placemats... how about some pot holders.. everyone can always use a couple of them - you could gift them if they were not to your liking..

Great idea!!!!Don't we all have unfinished tops that we are not crazy about! Also donating them to a group who will finish them for you is a good idea!!!!!
