    That's a pretty quilt and you need to put it away for a year and then look at it. Lots of work in it for sure!

    If you don't like it, you don't like it.

    I think the colors and pattern are attractive - but then, I like spaghetti (heated up) for breakfast and don't mind oatmeal for a bedtime snack.

    I understand - i've made a few I don't care for anymore, mostly they were mystery patterns and I wasn't able to choose the best colors/prints. My guild gives them to the local foster kids, or displaced families, YMCA/YWCA probably has some contacts or the local women's shelters. Contact your local quilt shop to see what they can give you in leads. (It is a pretty quilt, and someone will love to have it!)

    I like it! Everyone has different tastes - I'll bet if you finish it, someone will rave over it and you can gift it to them when the time is right!
