    After hours of trying to fudge and cheat and straighten I am frustrated beyond words. My first inclination is to stick this is a drawer and walk away, but I was really hoping to get this done for our relay for life team.
    Honestly, is this thing salvageable?

    I think you are being too hard on yourself - looks pretty to me!

    Is it off square? Add a border and square from there so you don't lose your points. Looks good to me.

    I have looked hard and I see nothing wrong with it. Finish it up and I bet you will like it better. I think it is great.

    Yes it's salvageable, it's pretty.
    Continue with your idea.

    When do you consider a quilt to be beyond salvageable?
