    you can quickly add some borders and be done with it. if you still don't love it, you'll be happy to know you don't have to look at it again. the blue border is very springy and will go well. the black is nice too, it adds a bit of sophisticated charm.

    I’m one of the odd balls who finishes every project. I would finish it and feel satisfied.

    I love that turquoise for a border! You will love it again after the quilting texture.

    Since I am a newish quilter, I finish everything. I never know what the end result will look like. On one like this that I am not crazy about, I would find or piece a back, piece together large pieces of backing and quilt on my domestic machine to save $$ from taking to longarmer. We always need blankets when family and friends visit. And if someone REALLY likes it, I would give it to them.

    Quilting a project such as this is the very thing that brings it to life. I've had some tops that just kinda sat there but the quilting did the trick. Love your springtime colors and this pattern.

    I like it!! Love the pastel colors. It’s nicer than you think. Those colors are very “in” right now.

    I would add that pretty blue border and finish it. All the hard work is already done. If you still don’t like it once it’s done, donate it somewhere that a little girl can enjoy it.

    I really think it is pretty but if it doesn't please you, I vote to give it to a group that will finish it and donate it to a worthy cause. I donate many tops I make for the sole purpose of support to a battered women's shelter to a church group that finishes them.
