    if you're pleased with the results of the applique work, i'm sure you'd be happier if you took it apart and used those patches/blocks in a new project.

    if nothing about it pleases you, sandwich it using batting scraps and the ugliest fabric in your stash. it will make a very good practice piece for quilting. :-)

    Oh Tracy it's not that bad. Little man would love!! Put a couple of borders on it and finish it.

    I think it has positive potential - but I also think it would look nicer if it was taken apart and assembled differently.

    It appears that you've already spent a lot of time doing the appliqued squares - like them a lot - so it would be a good thing if you could figure a way to make them work better.

    I agree that once it is pressed, a border on it and finished you will like it better. I could see a young boy thinking it is the neatest thing ever.

    Anything I ever made that I didn't like, my dogs got it and they love it. By the way, they have several things that didn't start out for them.........

    That is cute. Just iron it and maybe put a border around it and make it into a Wall Hanging. It will really be nice after you do that.

    I think it would be darling if you just keep adding "scrappy" pieces and trim with a border.Make it come out to 42x48 and then practice machine quilting with it and donate it to a charity. People who need warmth and care will think it is beautiful and will treasure it. I really don't think there is such a thing as an "ugly quilt"!

    I think it would make a great pillow sham on a little boys bed! My boys would have LOVED something like that when they were younger

    I think boys would love it. Finish it and you might be surprised how it changes how it looks when it's completed.
