I had one quilt, I walked away from for over 4 months, because I was so upset with it, I finally finished it, it now stays on my bed

Please don’t trash it...Peckish has offered to give it life. You have put so much time and effort into this, and it would be a shame to trash it. I totally understand wanting to move on...I have one or two of those projects lurking about...hmmmm....maybe we can start a “please take this and save it thread”!

I also agree it should go to Peckish/Peggi! She will finish it and post the result and you can finally enjoy all your hard work!

Permission to toss something that you don't want!!? Certainly! Quilting is a joy, not a chore that must be endured.

I have a top that I tried to straighten out stuffed in a box in my sewing room. It is in hopeless condition. I'm going upstairs right now and tossing it into the nearing trash container and throwing in the outside garbage bin for the city dump to enjoy!

Your distress convinced me of the senselessness of hanging onto something that is causing me grief! Out it goes!! And it isn't near as pretty as yours.

Oh my! Your piece looks beautiful. Sorry it has given you so much trouble. I hope you can find it a new home, if that is your decision.

That is really beautiful. Are you doing regular piecing, or paper piecing? It looks like it would be easier to foundation pp. Of course I haven't done it yet, so I could very well be hallucinating. It happens even on the best of forums, amirite??

Girl, to paraphrase Paul Simon:

The problem is all inside your head she said to me.
The answer is easy if you take it logically.
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free-
There must be fifty ways to ditch your W I P.
Just dump that W I P, and set yourself free.

If I've done nothing else, I've given you an earworm to keep you company.

Not only her, but probably the entire quilting community

Women have way too much guilt about everything, imho. You don't need permission, you don't need to explain, you don't need to rehome it, you paid for it, you worked on it, you didn't like it. Enough said.
