Have you come across a older UFO that you just don't like anymore?

I have a full size dresden plate quilt top that I made way back in the mid 80's when I was married. At the time my ex was really into the country look . It has scrap fabrics from that era and a navy blue sashing and muslin as a background. I need a full quilt for my bed and realized its too dark for my room now and not at all what I want in my room. Now I am debating what to do with it.
I have an embroidered vintage coverlet that I may just make into a heavier quilt top. Just need to work it out since it has the part that folds back over the pillows.

I have a quilt that I pieced years ago and just tried to machine quilt it. I have now given up on it because I did a terrible job with it. In fact I just used every decorative stich I had on different parts of the quilt. I just don't care any more! On to something else!

When I was in a similar situation, I sent it to the church for sandwiching and quilting, I bound it and then it was sold at the church bazaar. Missions got $350 and I got a UFO that no longer matched my decor out of the house.
If you can't part with it, finish it and make it an extra blanket.

Take a picture of it and post here on the board in the classified section. Lots of us here love the vintage fabrics and older quilts.
I have an embroidered block quilt that is all put together and hand quilted, it just needs binding. It's been laying here lookin' at me since about 1978. Sigh.

I did,
I gave the unfinished top & all the pieces to the Goodwill and never thought about it until right now.
Now that I'm on this board I would offer a UFO I didn't like to someone in a trade; there's always someone that'll like what you don't.
