What do you do?
#31
I went to a class a couple of months ago and the quilt we were making was fun during the class. I have struggled to finish it. I don't like my fabric choice, the last few pieces are not matching right and I have ripped out stitches so much the fabric has stretched. I wadded it up in a ball and tossed it in my scrap bin. I may find it later and decide to do something with it or toss it but for now I'm done with it. I don't feel guilty about not finishing it. That's a silly thing to feel guilty over.

I've never made anything I would call ugly. I make doll quilts for our guild if I don't think I particularly like it. We do a lot of charity in our guild and they can always finish it. Waste not, want not, as my husband says.

I have one right now that I have packed up into a jumbo plastic bag and put it in one of my totes. The fabric is gorgeous, but when I put it together it was just too busy. I took it to my quilting class. They loved the quilt, but someone there suggested that I add a thin border of black around it, then add a couple of borders. Sometime soon I will unpack it and try that. Sometimes you just have to put it away for a while, then go back to it. You know when I packed this quilt top up and put it away, the world didn't end and I wasn't a failure. Quilting is so much fun for me that I won't let one project ruin it for me.
