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

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.

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?

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!
