It's a winner. Someone you know will be thrilled to get it.

I like it very much, it seems go together well, I think quilts take on different looks each phase of the project, when finished I am sure you will be pleased.

Finish it!! Color choices aren't bad at all. Even if it isn't what you hoped for, I am sure you will find someone that will cherish it!

Oh please don't cut it up...I cannot tell you how many quilts at this point I'm disappointed in. However, once quilted they take on a life of their own. Hang in there Laugh, Love and Quilt as your tag line encourages!

OMG don't cut it up !!!. If you want to change something, maybe try a different border - perhaps a green one. That just might change everything & you may like it more than you think.

If you don't like it right now, or have doubts, put it aside and work on something else for now. Get it out a monthe or two from now and see if your thoughts have changed.

I think it would be worth your efforts to finish it, maybe just not right now.

I agree about finishing it. I am making one for my grandson and also felt it was very disappointing in it's appearance. However, I showed it to some teens and they all loved it. Even had some offers to adopt it if my DGS should decide he didn't like it, LOL.
So I am going to finish mine and let the clippings fall where they may. At least I know someone will love it when it's finished.

Alot of times the quilting gives the top that extra something, finish it before you decide...try and picture it on a bed in a room with co-ordinating colors..I bet it will look fantastic....
