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.

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! :)
