That's why I don't do mystery quilts. I always have to know it will be a pattern I really like before I spend time doing it. I am a big fan of charity quilts and figure just because I don't like it doesn't mean some one somewhere won't love it.

If all else fails - find someone else to give it all to. Several years ago, I was working on a quilt top and I had gotten to a point that I knew I was just going to hate it. I quilt with a group at a community center and I put everything for the quilt into a plastic baggie, along with the directions, and laid it on a table in their entry hall where people leave things that you can take for free. I went back later that day and it was GONE! I know that someone else saw it and liked it and it got finished and was donated as a charity quilt. Someones trash (mine), was someone elses treasure!

How discouraging to do all that work and not be happy with the outcome. Everyone wants to save $ and use stash, but we time spent sewing on what you don't really like is also costly. Your time is worth a lot. Thanks for the reminder to do what I love in fabrics I love.
