What do you do?
When you start a project and decide you really really dislike it?
I started working on a rag quilt I had started back in January or feb but the more I work on it I realize I don't like the fabric I chose for it and not sure I want to continue working on it or add the fabric to my scrappy quilts stash. What do you do when you find yourself in this situation?

I put it in a plastic zip lock bag and donate to my guild's charity committee for someone else to finish. I have done that twice now. I included the pattern and all supplies necessary to finish it, so it is sort of a "kit." Our guild has fabric that members can take to make charity quilts and my kits have been taken by someone and finished. I know they got finished because they were shown at "show and tell."
Just in case that would work for you...

Like a previous post... I have found it very liberating to just "make it go away" and have tossed some just to ugly to finish. For years I stressed and made myself finish projects ... it really impacted my quilting in a very negative way, being bogged down in "bummer quilts". Free yourself of projects that have become a burden.. Life is too short and there are better quilts waiting to me made.
Sometimes I cut the fabrics into scraps , if the blocks were large enough.
