This has happened to me and each time seemed to be different.
1 - donated for someone else to finish
2 - finished but donated
3 - the most surprising of all: finished it and changed my mind again and loved it when it was fully done.

Go figure.

I have an agreement with my quilting buddy. When this issue occurs,I give the project to her. What happens to it after that, is not my concern anymore. It goes both ways.

I'm with you - rag quilts are not my favorite thing to do - made two of them one year - one for my husband and one for my son - bought a kit in Wyoming and liked the fabric but it was going to make a huge quilt and I really didn't want it on my bed. They both got couch throw quilts so we were all happy.

I've been reducing my stash doing personal sized rag quilts that are WOF strips. Fairly quick-----------if you don't count the time I use to pick fabrics out of my stash.

I would put on one side next time I may like it.

Whew..so glad others have confessed to just throwing the darn thing out. I now will no longer feel guilty:D

I have a set of 72 Dresden Plates that were given to me. The fabric in them is really quite ugly, but I can't throw anything out. I have worked on it off and on the last two years, and have most of the edges basted and center circles have fabric softener sheets sewn on and are turned. I was planning on doing a Quilt as you go method, stitching around the plates with a decorative stitch with black thread in the bobbin. That way the back may look better than the front. LOL I'm a lilttle excited to see how that turns out, and someone will be kept warm.

Our guild has a country store to sell UFO's at our annual quilt show that I regularly add items to or I give to hospice group or charitable union.

It sounds like you need to find a different type of quilt to bring back the enjoyment.
