Yes, back when I was a beginning quilter I made this hideous thing. I have no idea where it is now; I was going to throw it away but my friend took it, quilted it, and donated it to a shelter.

I like the one above.

I have made a couple like that, "a quilt only the maker could love" LOL.

I have one in progress that I don't like, I called it "fat quarter stack and wack" stack 5 fat quarters and make 5 cuts then rearange all the prints and sew it back together. I didn't think it thru using to old of a fabric line for a more modern big block. Now I'm going to back up and add a sashing to all the blocks green with pink flower. I thought the yellow was going to set of the green, I was wrong. It looks a little better with the pink sashing. If I get it together and it still don't work for me, I'll donate it to someplace. It's going to be big. LOL Sometimes what looks good in my head looks funny after it is put together.

16.5" blocks before sashing.

Not any that I really loathe, but I get bored with them and move on to something else.

Peggi & Future they both look fine!

When they are quilted maybe you'll be happier with them.

I made one that I disliked and finally gave it away. It was just the top and felt good to pass it to someone who might appreciate it.

Honestly a quilt for my mother-in-law. She picked the colors and pattern. I was fine with this - she has great taste. The pattern was too complicated for me but I marched on. Spent close to a year off and on working on it.
Started to put it together and the blocks weren't equal. Didn't have enough fabric left to make new ones (too many were like this) and couldn't find one of the fabrics anyway. So I continued on easing seams as best I could.
Literally groaning and gritting my teeth. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have finished no matter how much that expensive fabric was!! I hated that thing. Finally finished as best I could, quilted down - did the binding. Sigh of relief. Three days after she received it, she calls to tell me everything that's wrong with it. That stupid thing is still on her bed after 10+ years!!
After a time stepping back from a quilt, I'm usually a little more forgiving of my mistakes or whatever I didn't like about it - not this thing. However after five years I did stop gritting my teeth when I would see it

I started one last week that I already don't like. I am going to try to find one or two more fabrics tomorrow to try to pull it together a little better. It is a triangle quilt and I am already thinking of donating it. I will wait to see what the top looks like when it is done. I am not sure I will want to waste the money buying batting and a backing for it.

I love your 'hate' quilt, Peckish!

I did a black and white 3-d block quilt with a ton of y-seams and I loathed every single minute of it. Everyone else seems to love it. Blech. I'd rather eat worms than do another.

Me too! It was when I was just starting and I was trying to follow directions out of a magazine. Oh it was just awful! Turned out OK - I could fudge it enough - and she loved it. Oh well

I'm working on one now: a tumbling block hollow cubes. The quilt was fine until I tried to quilt it with stitch-in-the-ditch. It's just too hard to make those lines straight. I have six blocks to do yet, but they are mostly in the middle. Yuck!
