I started this a year and a half ago and I have no desire to finish it

This looks good! I feel like stopping and throwing away, started over anew, but I told my self, give it an hour a day, and I am going to finish this project by Sunday!! yeah!! A gift for my niece I started before she was born, and I got irritated and stopped. She is 3 months old now, and I will ship it to her next week, will add a picture for everyone's opinion this weekend!! Give it a shot, it will be worth it, if your not happy with it, the experience will help you on future projects!

Maybe if you take a little time to starch all the blocks and sashing pieces along with the part you have already put together, it would make everything go together easier. On my first quilt (a Lone Star), I didn't know to use starch so I had a lot of trouble with the bias edges and getting things to line up. If I had found out before I finished the quilt, I certainly would have tried starching all of the individual pieces. It really makes such a difference!
What you have done is very pretty. In fact, I am making scrappy 9 patches for the 9-Patch Project here on QB, and I may try setting some of my blocks together this way.
I think it will be a stunning quilt when completed and your BFF will LOVE it! Just do a little each day, maybe attached the sashing pieces as leaders and enders, and before you know it, your BFF will have a beautiful quilt made by her BFF!!

You need to do what makes you feel better about this quilt. If it's finishing it for a friend, then do it. If it's trashing it, then do that. I have only trashed one quilt in my life, and it was at about the same stage as yours - all the blocks were made, but I didn't like it and didn't like working on it. I felt better the minute it hit the trash can! Relieved would be a good description. If you do finish it, you will also feel relieved, it'll just take a little longer. So, do what you want, and feel good about it! No quilt police allowed into our FUN hobby!
