    I love your quilt. Don't be discouraged by the need to substitute a fabric at this point in the game. You should be able to find a fabric that will border your quilt on all 4 sides that is very close to the turquois that is there right now. Take a deep breath and go for it. I can't wait to see the beautiful finished quilt.

    I think it looks great. The aqua border will really set it off.

    This is *really* pretty and you did such a good job piecing it. I do understand your dilemma, though - it's hard to keep working on something that you really don't like.

    It is beautiful. Sorry I do not see anything to dislike about it.

    I'm going to agree with the many here- I think it's cute as hell. And the blue-turquoise border is perfect.

    However....if you don't like it....give it to someone who will finish and find a home for it. You sat on it once, still don't like it..."Let it go...let it go!!"

    No guilt.

    One-time (several years ago) I participated in an event that was hosted on Cythia's blog here: Quilting is more fun than Housework... It was a 'UFO' giveaway event, no strings attached. I gifted a One-Block-Wonder partial top with pattern and book to someone who used it for her quilt ministry. I felt good in that I cleaned out a project and she felt great that a lovely quilt made it to her ministry.

    This post on her blog was from a month ago, so I'm not sure if the event is still going on or not: Orphan Adoption

    Hi! I love your work and the top too! I also like the blue border best. I think it will look more pleasing to you once it’s finished. However, if you don’t want to put anymore $$$ into it and just want to be over it, I can’t blame you. Another quilter would be happy to take it on and purchase the needed fabrics to finish it. Send me a pm if you’re sure you’re unhappy with it. My group and I sew for 3 charities and we are always needing bigger quilts for teens. It really is pretty.

    Very pretty quilt and the blue border will be very nice. What don't you like about the quilt?

    Of course what you have is nice and the blue border will brighten it.
