A lady once said to me "a finished quilt that is not 100% is better than an unfinished quilt" I'm not sure if I agree completely but I do think this quilt is worth finishing.

Have you looked at the photo? I know that sounds like a silly question, but sometimes I'll take a photo of the quilt laid out and it gives a better view than just looking at it.

You're so close to finishing--just put it aside a bit more and find something that really brings out the child in you. I did that recently and now have a new breath to finish up some UFO's.
