No visual place to rest! Despondent and daunted by the prospect of countless hours of seam-ripping, I decided to move on. I'll finish it, give it away, and be wiser on the next project. <br />About your quilt: you wouldn't recognize it as ugly if not for the many beautiful items you've made.

Most of the time it's never as bad as I thought.
