First of all yes most quilters have suffered the same dilemma you speak of. What I see as the problem is not enough contrast in your quilt. Too many fabrics of the same value. That being said I think your being hard on yourself. It's really not that bad. Like others have suggested take a break from it and go back to it.

You bet I did and do have. I put it away for a while and keep my eyes on this board and before you know it an idea comes to me. I had one that took me well over a year to finish, but it was worth it.
I like the first picture. As I was looking at your pictures: What if you finished the first one in the first pic and make a board with the dark pink about 3 to 4 inches?
Just a thought, but you definitely have a lot of good comments and advise from this board, so good luck because something will come to your liking.

This is just what I was going to suggest.

Sometimes, you need to put it aside, work on something else for awhile, then come back back and WA~LA! You fall in love with it all over again!! :wink:

I agree. Put it off to the side for awhile and start the next one. When I did my first quilt, I finished it before starting another. The second one came along and then sat for three years while I made over 50 other projects!
