I finished the center of my quilt top yesterday. I decided this week I was going to get all of my UFO tops done at least... they might have to wait in line to get quilted (on my new mid-arm and frame wheeeee) but I digress. I was holding it up and looking at it when my husband came in and said (as he always does) in a preternaturally cheerful voice "Do you like it?" To which I replied "No". Actually I hated it.... so much that I wadded it up and threw it unceremoniously into my UFO box. After a good sleep I decided to dig it out and at least finish it. So this morning I put the borders on. I am so glad I didn't give up... I actually like it now. It may not be my all time fave but I do like it, which is so much better than the unadulterated hate I was feeling for it last night. Oh... the Bs kinda suck but I figure not too bad for only being 3" :)

i really like it. i like all the little variations within each block, and your use of colours. don't throw it away.
Now, that's original! great colors, too
congrats on the finish and good for you for hanging in there. I'm not always happy with my quilts either. For me now, the goal is to figure out what I don't like about it and learn from the experience. I figure if I make the occasional quilt that I love love love it's okay to have a few blecks along the way. And while it's still a top, if you really don't like it then chop it up and go wild with the parts, like Siobhan did earlier in this blog.
