If I don't like the way it is turning out, I tear it up and adjust it until I do like it. Sometimes it causes some waste, but I don't want to spend time on something that I don't like
|
Try it eventually finish them all, have been known to rip out a wrong color part of the way thru, to add something that I like better. :)
Some take a long time.... |
Buying the whole kit with fabric included kinda saves me from that problem, but i do indeed have some small stuff that will never be finished.
|
I find it difficult, if not impossible, to continue working on something I don't like, so I stop after a block or two. I figure it's better to have 1 or 2 odd blocks than a UFO that'll likely never be completed. :)
(Yep, I've got quite a few odd blocks sitting around! :lol: Maybe I'll turn them into a scrappy quilt sometime.) |
I also make a block first with the fabric I am thinking of using. If I dont't like it it goes in to my block stash for a quilt I will make using all of the blocks I didn't like, maybe a dog quilt or bird cage cover!!!
|
If I decide I don't like the project after a block or two, I set it aside to see if I may want to change something about it. If I really don't like it, I just finish the top, quilt it, and donate it. I know someone will get good use of it! :)

I stick it in a zip loc bag and go back to it later.

I once made a quilt that each block was really nice BUT when I started putting it together I could not stand the look BUT again I kept going thinking it would somehow get better lookin when done. WRONG I could hardly stand to work on it . I made it for my Stepdaughter I gave it to her anyway and guess what she loves it because it is BLUE. The pattern or construction made no differenc to her all she cared about was it was BLUE. She shows it to every one that visits and I cringe. I always hope she will not tell them who made it.

I used to work on one quilt at a time. Then I worked on two at a time. Now I've lost count how many I'm working on. I've given up on a quilt once; otherwise, except for WIP's, I have no UFO's. I finish everything I work on unless it just isn't going together. (That was the one I gave up on.)
