I would make it into a twin and move on!

I've had UFOs that I couldn't even remember what pattern it was ! Maybe it'd work as a sofa throw for you, or as a gift for someone? Just do what works for you & I like the idea of putting fabric away with a UFO.

Make it a twin, and if you still are not happy with it, don't spend the extra $$ on batting & backing, donate the top. However, having said that, this might also be a good fmq practice piece if you have any interest in that.

Thanks all!

You definitely need to get yourself a little pair of Stork scissors. Your said your skills have improved over the last 3 years, go treat yourself!

I am glad you're going with a twin on this one, I agree with everyone else. If you finish it at a twin size, you will see accomplishment and then have some scraps in your scrap bin for another project. :thumbup:

Awesome! You make me laugh! I am going to go out this week and get a pair of those scissors! Might help me finish this darned UFO! :)

Call it and make it a twin and call it done.

A twin size. I thought that was your plan in the first place, wasn't it? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge!)

Make it a twin size and add borders to make it a full size.

Mke it a twin size or lap quilt and move to things that make you go wow! or make table runner and place mats or all of it. Good luck. I have such a bad ufo like that , im going to practice my FMq ing with it. It can go into my car for emergencys.

Make it a twin & move on. It was a learning experience right?
