A friend of mine offered to teach me to quilt pretty much exactly two years ago. I was, of course, overly ambitious and instead of sticking with the baby quilt size, decided to make a twin size quilt.
When I got the top pieced together, I hated the brown sashing but decided to soldier on. I got two thirds of the way through handquilting but I just couldn't bring myself to finish. I noticed more and cut off points with each block I quilted and didn't like the sashing any better.
Every time I would start a new project, my husband would shake his head and ask when I was going to finish the quilt. I kept putting him off but finally I said I wasn't ever going to finish. His response "so what do you do with it now? cut it up?" I scoffed at him but decided he was right -- I cut off the three (four?) rows I hadn't yet quilted and bound the rest (add "quilt from the centre" to the things I learned after the fact). I still don't like it but it's done!
