I love it just the way it is... All the different fabrics are amazing.

Keep the dollar. I'll take it and pay postage.

I agree plus it has CHARACTER!

I agree with finishing it and giving it to a charity.

You absolutely should think of the hours of work somebody put in because they loved what they were doing. I think it is pretty and I would put it all together & FMQ to use as a picnic blanket, or (I keep one in my car trunk in case of emergencies), there all kinds of uses for this 'labor of love'. You got a bargain and no way should you trash it.

Every quilt has a beautiful story. Think of the time and love someone put into your $1.00 special that didn't get finished or delivered. What a treasure.

Because you recognized that someone put her heart and soul into it, and it deserves to be loved by someone. Finish her up, and give her to a child who won't notice the mismatched points. children know how to love without judging, and every quilt deserves that.

  6. no overall design
I don't even know why I bought it and now i don't know what to do with it. Maybe the round file?
Any suggestions?:eek:

because you thought you liked it and it was cheap.Have it quilted and if you still don't like it,give it to charity.Some will appreciate it and keep them warm.

I would find the sashing a little bit of a challenge to get over. LOL

You paid $1 to "save" it probably because you recognize the work that went into it and felt sorry for it. In the past I have bought things that I wanted to "save"--such as a partially sewn quilt top with polyester, rayon, flannel, and a mish-mash of fabrics of every kind and color. The bag sat in my sewing room for a couple of years until I realized it was so ugly and horrible that there was no part of it I could really "save." So I set it free to live in our landfill!! LOL. Lesson learned!
