I have been there - buy the wine and look at it again tomorrow and finish it! it will be better tomorrow :)

I think what I would do is change the borders if I had some fabric that would frame it nicely and finish it that way.

Bonnie's quilts can be labor intensive, but the finish is so worth it! You're so close now, don't give up! You're missing just one unit, which isn't even a difficult one. You can do it! More than once I've had a piece fall off/behind/under something else; maybe you'll find it.

The fabric issues you had are sure irritating, but at least you found out before they were in a finished top. Good luck, hope you will tackle this when you are feeling more fresh. I'll pull mine back out one of these days. I went against my better instincts and used the suggested colors, much brighter than my normal palette.

Good luck to you

Oh dang! I feel your pain. Just put it aside--not away. It is too great to leave it undone.
After a cooling down period I really hope you can finish it. It is worth it!

That is beautiful--and you are sooooooo close to being done. Quit agonizing, get a glass of wine if you need it, and get to it. You'll feel so great when you do look at the finished quilt--like having a baby--the misery is forgotten when he/she gets here......

Love your beautiful piecing.

I love what you have done. Hope you can work up the nerve to finish it.

You may want to try this - get a flannel back vinyl tablecloth the size of the quilt (pretty cheap at discount stores) - Lay out the quilt on the flannel side, fold gently in on itself - that way you do not have to lay it out again and it will be ready when you muster the energy to make that final green/white block!
Then step back, take a deep breath and salute your progress with a glass of wine!!

Perfect colors...so sad. Use your blocks for something else...
