I think it is just probably outside your comfort zone for quilts. I definitely think you should keep it because it has a story. What about putting it the center of a quilt backing and make the top from scraps? I don't think it is ugly either. Let us know what you do with it.

I'm on the fence, but there are so many ideas to "fix"it.
Someone once had a purse she made that she didn't like, she set it out and decided the first person to comment on it would receive it as a gift. can't wait to see what you do with it.
I do like the round robin idea!

Don't know what size it is, but it would be an excellent charity quilt. I make lap quilts for vets in a veterans hospital. A quilt like that would keep the whole room busy just looking at the designs. Very interesting. Congratulations on finishing the applique. Love the frogs.!

It's too ugly for a gift, and it's too small for charity (& too ugly for that too...LOL), it is the only quilt I machine applique'd and it was done in a machine applique' class. Took me two days to make this ugliness! Is there anything I can do to save it or should I just take it apart and use the squares in something different like pillows for kids or something like that?
