yes, yes, oh yes. I've made some that look like a dog's breakfast. One went to the bottom of my dog's kennel. Some got cut up and sent to dog shelters.
More recently I made a star sampler that was just too ugly. It also turned out to be huge and I didn't want to give up that much batting and backing fabric to something i didn't love.
A friend saw it and loved it because the colours were perfect for her den. So I cut a strip of blocks off all four edges and bound the middle section and gave it to her. I joined up the four strips with another plain strip in the center and bound that for a couch throw. I use that every day. And best of all , it doesn't matter if my dog lays on it too.
