I'll change it as I go ecept for consignment quilts if that is how they want it. that is one of the reasons I do not take all consignment jobs. Quilting should be fun and once it is not why would I do it?

I try out one block first. Like for a recent graduation quilt, I made my main blocks in 4 different fabric combinations until I decided on one I liked. Life's too short to spend all that time working on something that doesn't make you happy.

But once I make that decision, I have followed thru to the end. So far, no unfinished tops (But, I've only been at it for a year!)

I will finish it regardless of how I feel about it as when I quilt it it brings it to life and sometimes I end up liking what I formally didn't like.

I just made three blocks and i told my DH that there is no way i am making more! They are the ugliest things i have ever seen. haha I hid them in the back room were hopefully they will get lost never to be seen again. Tried again with different colors and i am almost done with the top.Much better.

I still have a shaded 9P that I've not finished-it's been boxed for years. I also sewed together a 9P, hated it-ended up one toned so I ripped out seams here and there added new squares and for 2 different throws to repurpose the blocks.

I usually keep on going ... but the quilt might be smaller than planned ... and I donate it to my guild's charity quilts.

I really try to visualize it for a long time before I start. If it bothers me visually then I won't start it. I don't think I ever really gave up on a quilt. I would just put it away for a while and sometimes a long while then I would try it again.
