What do you do when you fall out of love with the material you picked?

I would stick with it....unfinished things have a way of niggling at you. As the others have said, once it is quilted and bound, you may think differently. Perhaps step outside the box a bit when you quilt it....that way it will hold your interest and will take on a different look. If when done, you still feel the same way, you could gift or sell it. Either way it will be "done and dusted".

I guess I agree with most of you. I bought a line of fabric and then couldn't see it made up. I saw it used in a ad and now I have it almost done and I love it! Keep going or even add another fabric that is brighter if you can. maybe a contrast border? I've had this happen so many times I can't begin to count but they all came out great in the end.

I forced myself to finish a very boring Drunkards Path, as it was a request for my dear SIL. I did not like it one bit. When it was quilted, it was spectacular. Maybe yours will be also. Grit your teeth. Good Luck.

I would definitely finish it and put it on one of the beds in another bedroom. Or, give the unfinished project to a friend you know who will finish it. My mantra is "you can't have too many Christmas quilts to throw around"!
