This quilt was a joint effort too. DD planned a basic pinwheel block but cut all the blue pieces too short. 4" instead of 4.5" Ready to trim them into squares for another future project I showed her on Pinterest a few checkerboard type designs using rectangles. Why waste the fabric and work for squares? Okay she decided and arranged them on the wall. Nope she decided; didn't like that. Next she started grouping the 4-patches she had made into some unique blocks. Yeah, kinda ugly no matter what fabrics we added to them. Even considered cutting the rectangular 4-patches into square blocks.
She abandoned them at that point. I was surprised she kept trying. Some time later she admitted she didn't like it so didn't want to work on it. I told her that happens to all of us. No problem. Don't waste time feeling bad. That's when you pass it on to the church group. That's me, of course.
It didn't take long for me to decide on this. A little longer to finish the top. Now she's sorry she gave it away.
