I would put it back together, quilt it and then give it to charity. Take it to a homeless shelter and give to them. It doesn't matter if points are perfect when you are cold.

Whoever sold you this quilt got the better deal! I would not spend one more minute on this project but toss it in the trash or give it to charity!
|
I would put it together and do a quick method of quilting. I have bought some imperfect quilt tops and used them. Great for practicing quilting and then use as a picnic quilt or dog blanket.
|
I have bought many quilts off eBay and at flea markets. Except for a few, none are perfect. I love the look of the quilt and I would have just quilted it and enjoyed it. I agree with others about checking for bleeding, I would use a color catcher. Many people do not learn from classes or from their family, they just do it the best they can. I think this quilt is quite pretty even if the points are cut off.
|
Wash it, let it bleed, then cut and slash and make a whole new pattern and quilt using this scrappy method. I often take leftover blocks and use them as a starting point for a whole new look. I've had great success transforming many ugly blocks that never made it into a "standard normal pattern" quilt into interesting scrappy ones. And it's quite liberating!
|
Get it back together, quilt it, then donate it. The recipient will appreciate it.
|
Yes, in this case, done is better than perfect. I wouldn't "chuck it," but I would repurpose it either in parts are as a whole utility piece.
And the person who put it up on eBay must have been proud of it to put it up for sale, don't you think? |
Oh My! I can see why they decided to sell it.

Throwing it away would be senseless. Someone will need a quilt and enjoy it tremendously. I think it's pretty, mismatched seams or not. And if it turns pink, so what. And if you don't want to do the finishing, find someone who would. I would.
Remember: Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly. Done is better than perfect. |
only you know if you feel like redoing all this.
Tartan gave very good advice. I agree somebody was learning and loved the idea of making a quilt, but I guess they didn't have a board like this to turn to for help. It's too bad, that some sellers take advantage like that. Personally, I would feel that I could be spending my time making my own quilt and if I donated it to those that redo for the less fortunate, I would be very happy with my decision. :) |
