keep going it,regardless of wether you like it or not?
I used to, back when quilting was new to me.Then realized there are certain colors/patterns I just can't stand working on. Now I always do a sample block.Is it worth making enough for a quilt? Does the color need changing? Better to stop than to force myself to make an un-loved quilt. Besides....un used fabric builds stash & I get a collection of "no way" blocks. :-D |
I usually don't realize I really don't like it until the top is almost done. I must think I will like it better if it gets all the way completed. I have numerous WIPs and UFOs where blocks are made and it just got put aside but I have every intention of finishing them someday. I have one top that I got all the way done except for the final border and I think it is the ugliest thing ever. But I think I will put the border on it and finish it on the longarm as it will be a good practice piece. Then I can donate it. One woman's ugly as sin can be another's thing of beauty.

No, I stop
Sometimes I'll cut the blocks into strips or pieces to go into a Mile a Minute or Crumbs quilt |
It joines the rest of my UFO's.......
|
It might take me awhile, but I finish them. And then donate them.
|
I'm w/you hulahoop1. I finish & then donate. But rarely do I not like a quilt. Even if it's not looking too great - IMO - once it's quilted I almost always fall in love w/it again! Quilting always works miracles!
|
I make a block first also.
If I don't like it I still have the 1 block. I use them in sampler quilts or for hot pads etc. |
I usually stop for awhile. I've only started one project that I hated enough not to finish. Sometimes they need a change to make it likeable again. I have one that I put aside about a year ago. It was a kit and looks too blah to me. I think I might applique on it to spruce it up. Someday. I'm not too anxious to get back to it.
|
I put it away for a while. Than when I bring it back out I may have new ideas of how to make it one I can love.
|
When I started quilting, I made a promise to myself that I would not start a new project until I finished the one I was working on. I just know I would get too overwhelmed if I let too much get going at once.
