Have you ever started a pattern (Block) and it just did not do a thing for you? How do you salvage it? I started on a bear claw quilt top out of a jelly roll and I am just bored with it, but hate to waste money. What would do?

This would be a long term project for me. Make yourself do just a block or two between other projects. It will eventually get done. Either that or refuse to start something new until it is finished. Line up a real interesting quilt you are dying to start next

I am one who says it's Ok to stop working on a project you have lost interest in. The blocks that are already made can be used randomly on the back of another quilt if you want to; the unused fabric can be used for something else. The pattern can be given to another quilter. Quilting time is valuable to me, so if I waste a few dollars it's better than wasting a few weeks or months of time working on something that is not appealing or fun.

Use a few blocks to make a pillow cover. I use an button down shirt for the back; buttons are the opening, very easy. Or start a box with orphan blocks. When you have enough for a lap quilt, stitch them together & give it away.
