    Your quilt is really very nice. It is bright and I am sure the recipient will love it. Don't feel bad because you don't like it. And I would much rather see you donate it to a group like that than just leave it sit as a UFO. I just received a quilt in the doll swap with a tea stained muslin on the back and it is absolutely beautiful. She just soaked the muslin in tea and it gave it such a rich look, I wonder if you could use a tea that has a very dark brown, or maybe even a pinkish color to it, like Red Zinger? I am going to try that on one of my next ones.

    I've used that same teddy bear fabric for a downy quilt!!!!

    Did you look at the broadcloth when you were at Joann? Some of those are usually on sale.

    Definitely use muslin on the back and send it off as a charity quilt. Just because you don't like the final outcome doesn't mean you didn't put a lot of hard work and time into making it. It deserves a good home even if that home isn't where it was originally intended to go. Children aren't anywhere near the critics we adults are. I'm certain some child will have a lot of joy brought to them when they receive this.

    Quilt it and send it on it's way! :)

    I thought about that using the yellow green red but I would rather just use one piece and not piece( :?:

    The person who receives it is going to be so possessive with it and love it so much that "No one will have a better blankie than they do!"

    I think that would be find. I like the quilt and I'm sure there is a child somewhere that will love it.
