What do you do with a quilt top you don't want to finish?
As part of a challenge, I was given a bag of fabric to make a twin sized quilt top. Some of the fabric was cotton and some polyester. I finished the top but have no desire to spend any more time or my own money on it. I don't really want to throw it in the trash, don't feel anyone would want to buy it since it has polyester in it, and don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?

You could conduct experiments upon it. Use new threads in quilting it and then wash repeatedly to test how they hold up in comparison to your tried and true fibers. Do experimental stitching designs on it to practice. When you're done, back it with a durable substance, bind it quickly, and call it a picnic quilt, or a dog quilt, or your emergency supplies in case of this apparent trend of zombie population that the young speak of so continuously. Or you could just leave it on a park bench somewhere as a random act of art and see what happens. I sometimes find that to be a wonderfully amusing solution to the unloved creations -- but then I live adjoining a large park and can espy the outcomes.
