I love yellow. 

Don’t go putting it in the Oxfam recycling now, will you, @Stitches

Horses for courses - my mother would go potty over it - yellow is her favourite colour. Personally I think it is gorgeous, a pity not to finish it.

It would be a shame not to finish it after all that work, especially as it's the colour of sunshine. :)

That clearly took a lot of time, effort and skill. You could dispose of it, but that would be a shame.

My suggestion would be to finish it and then, if you still don’t like it either pass it along to a friend or relative who likes yellow more that you or donate it to a shelter or hospital that can use it.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"  Finish it and put it away for a while. Bring it out in a few weeks and have a fresh look at it....I bet you'll think more positively about it once you've had a holiday from it! I seldom like any of my quilts directly after I've finished them.

@Stitches , you have to finish it after all that work. It’s lovely. How about backing it with a dark blue fleece and it would make a great picnic rug for the summer: such sunny colours. :D
