    By all means, quilt it. I like it, and have also put a few blocks into a (well, several) quilts incorrectly. Makes them more interesting and, after all that work, why would you not quilt them?

    I also like it, but totally understand. I've had more than a few quilts that I wasn't thrilled with myself, and no one could convince me to like them. I can't remember where I read it, but one of my biggest quilty inspirations is, "Even ugly quilts are warm!"

    My solution was to use them as backings for another quilt that I liked better, that way I did not dread quilting them! I liked the surprise of a a pieced backing so much, I have decided to do it to all of my quilts, and get rid of a few of those UFOs I had lost interest in.

    I'll just add to the majority that says to quilt it, I think it is fabulous. Please report back and let us know what you decide.

    Yes, please quilt it! I really like it, and as you can see, there are many others here who feel the same. It's beautiful! The colors are wonderful together.

    Finish it by quilting it. If you just stick it in the closet as UFO it will continue to 'bug' you. There are many ideas of thing you can do with it if you decide, after it is finished, that you don't want to keep it. Unfinished, it is a loss no matter how you think about it. We all make quilts that don't live up to our expectations but others think are just wonderful from their perspective. None of of thinks about UFOs as being wonderful.

    Quilt that pretty quilt! If you don't like it gift it. I did one earlier this year and after it was finished I realized it was not my style. I gave it to a friend who was ill and she really loves it. She thanks me every time we talk!

    Definitely quilt this one! This quilt says, "Well, hello there!" to me. I like the pattern, I like the choice of colors, and I like the design. I think you'll like it, too, after it is quilted and lying gloriously on a bed.
