The Truly Ugliest Quilt Top
#11
if you're pleased with the results of the applique work, i'm sure you'd be happier if you took it apart and used those patches/blocks in a new project.
if nothing about it pleases you, sandwich it using batting scraps and the ugliest fabric in your stash. it will make a very good practice piece for quilting. :-)

I think it has positive potential - but I also think it would look nicer if it was taken apart and assembled differently.
It appears that you've already spent a lot of time doing the appliqued squares - like them a lot - so it would be a good thing if you could figure a way to make them work better.

I agree that once it is pressed, a border on it and finished you will like it better. I could see a young boy thinking it is the neatest thing ever.
Anything I ever made that I didn't like, my dogs got it and they love it. By the way, they have several things that didn't start out for them.........

I think it would be darling if you just keep adding "scrappy" pieces and trim with a border.Make it come out to 42x48 and then practice machine quilting with it and donate it to a charity. People who need warmth and care will think it is beautiful and will treasure it. I really don't think there is such a thing as an "ugly quilt"!
