I quilted a top over the weekend and have to say that I think that is one ugly quilt! I am considering not even putting a binding on it. I wonder if a nice dog would like it to sleep with. Maybe it would make a good chew toy for some nice doggie!
Just think if this adorable dog had that quilt to chew on instead of those shoes. Don’t you think he would have had more fun, after all, shoes do correspond with foot odor!
Maybe that quilt would have saved that chair!
Anyway, I thought I would let my readers vote! Is this quilt worth binding? You be the judge!
I will do what ever my readers choose for me to do!
To place your vote, just look to the right side of my blog and place your vote in the poll. Then leave a comment telling me you voted. Why do you ask? Because that will get you in the drawing to win a prize. What is the prize you ask?
This is the prize! I was looking for something in my sewing room today and found this tablerunner I made. So why not give it to someone to use because I won’t. You really need to live with neat people to use tablerunners and placemats and I don’t see this family changing anytime soon. LOL And before I forget, anyone can enter but please only enter once!
Hope you are having a great day!

I voted. I like the quilt. Maybe you should add it to the adorable table runner in the giveaway. ;) But it's definitely too good to go to the dogs.
Every quilt is worth binding. I've learned that even I don't like something I've made, there's always someone out there that does.
P.S. Love the cute runner!
I voted Yes! Just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else won't like it! What don't you like about it? I love the table runner.
You're the "boss", here; but I voted yes. It looks like a lovely quilt. If you don't want to keep or gift it, I'm sure some charity would love it.
Yes you should put a binding on the quilt. It is really pretty and someone will love it.
I voted Yes also. If you think it is too ugly, you can do a quick machine binding and then give it away even if it is to a dog. But I am sure there is someone out there may love it.
Hey Rhonda! I voted...and I voted YES! I like it...but if you don't, it would still be a great quilt to use for picnics, to take to the beach, keep in your car "just in case", etc. That way if something happened to it, you wouldn't mind so much!
Love that table runner!
XOXO,

Every quilt is worth a binding. If you don't like the quilt give it to a needy person. I like your table runner and would be more than happy to use it. Thanks for the chance to win.
I put my vote in and I am in agreement with everyone (7 of us so far) who think that this quilt is definitely worth it!!
Nice quilt! Of course, bind it! And I LOVE the table runner. Some of my favorite colors. :)
I voted as well. It is very rare to find a truely ugly quilt. This one does not rate that low. If you don't like it, use it backing side up, or use it for a picnic or bleacher quilt. Someone will love it and use it.
I voted yes too cause I like the quilt...and the tablerunner too.
I agree "YES". You may not love it, but someone would. A car quilt or picnic quilt doesn't have to be "beautiful" and probably gets used more if it's not "too nice" to use. Love the table runner. :)
I voted and would love to win the table runner.
I voted yes , this quilt would make someone very happy so if you don't want to keep it find a good home for it ,maybe a women's shelter or something like that .
So far, it looks like 100% of us voted yes - bind it! Someone will love it. Or, as someone else mentioned, it will make a great car quilt. Never let a perfectly good quilt go to waste!
Maybe it's the colors you don't care for. I think it is quite pretty. Thank you for letting me enter your giveaway for the table runner!
I also voted for a yes! I think it is worth the time. Surely someone would be very happy to recieve it!
The tablerunner is so cute!
I voted but don't know why you wouldn't think that quilt is worth binding!!! YES of course it is!! It is very nice, and I love the colors!
Your dogs on the other hand...sigh~ I'd make sure they don't get to any quilts!
I am laughing at the pictures...so funny. And...no brown nosing here but I went and voted and I vote that you bind this quilt because I have seen and made some ugly quilts and this one is sooooo far from ugly...maybe it is not your taste but it is adorble...truly.
I voted and I think you should bind the quilt. It really isn't ugly, there is NO such thing as an ugly quilt! They are all beautiful.
The pictures were funny. My dog once chewed a couch and chair.
I think the quilt is lovely. I would bind it - and I voted!
thanks!
I voted, and it looks like the majority voted to bind it!! Majority rules :-)
Yes bind it. If you don't have a home for it, I am sure that some family leaving a shelter with nothing would love this quilt to help them make a new home. The table runner would also be welcome and appreciated by them.
Hey Rhonda, I voted yes. I see nothing wrong with this quilt. Maybe you can use it as a donation if you still dislike it after adding the binding. The little table runner is really cute.
I think you should bind it, it is nice! I like the effect it gives with its values. What is it that you don't like about it? I could even bind it for ya!
What's wrong with the quilt! I think it's darling! Definetly not a dog quilt, and I'm happy that 30 other people agree with me! (I voted!). Love the table runner too. :)
bind it....it looks fine. But if after living with it for a while you still don't like it, a women's shelter or homeless shelter would....
I will bind it for you! Beautiful!
Subee in Indiana too!
And i thought my furry guys were bad, lol.
And what is so ugly? I think it is beautiful and if you don't like it for yourself, it would make a beautiful charity quilt.
Debbie
Oh dear, maybe you should have stopped sooner, but since you went this far, bind it. I do love the table runner. I hope I win! Joline
Bind it and donate it to a shelter or some other charitable organization - you will feel that all your hard work has been validated.
I voted! Love the doggie pictures, too. :) If all else fails, use the quilt as a charity quilt.
Sandy A
Bind it; and if you still don't like it, donate it as a charity quilt. Someone will love it.
I absolutely think bind it! And I don't think it's ugly at all (hope you don't think I have bad taste now ;-) ). But I also think it's okay to give yourself a break and tie it/birth it, if you rather. As others have mentioned, charity is great. I know some chemo patients use quilts to warm up during treatment. And...I Love the table runner. Pick me, pick me! :-) joleehamlin [at] comcast [dot] net
I voted to bind the quilt. I just LOVE the quilt. It looks so snuggley. I think you are being to critical of your self and your work. I think it's great.
It is absolutely worth binding. You may end up loving it when you are finished with it. Sometimes we need to step back and take a break from our work to appreciate it.
I'm sure the dog will be very happy take over the quilt.
I voted for you to finish it, because even if you don't like it, it could make a good charity quilt!And then you can give it away and it will be out of sight, out of mind!
SOQ-save the quilt!
I voted to finish it since it is almost done. If you don't love it, you can find someone who will.
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway. The workmanship is certainly worth a binding. I know there is someone who will love the color scheme.
I voted to bind it. It would be great to give to Project Linus or Quilts of Valor or some other worthy charitable organization if you don't like it once it is bound.
I recognize that fabric because I am using it in a quilt that I worked a little bit on tonight. (and I love the brown floral)
I absolutely love your tablerunner!!!! Definitely bind the quilt and use it:)
Yes, i voted and I think the quilt has gorgeous color! If you don't care for it after it's bound and washed, please consider donating it to a worthy cause. All quilts, no matter how "ugly" in our eyes, are works of "beauty" for others. Sincerely, Dawn
I voted yes but I say do a machine binding. Don't hand stitch!
Here is Pat Sloan's tutorial:
http://patsloan.typepad.com/quiltershome/pat-sloan-machine-binding-tutorial.html
After all that work, yes, bind it. Either donate it, or give it the cousin you really don't like who keeps hinting for a quilt ;o)
Oh, please bind it. There's always someone, somewhere, who needs a bit of handmade love!

Give it a go!
I don't quilt, ut I would love to have the tableruner so please count me in!
'
tis often said that "one mans meat is another mans poison" or 'one persons trash is anothers treasure'
and so it is with quilts. Your quilt is lovely and will keep someone, somewhere wrapped in a warm quilty hug even if you don't want to keep it for yourself. I think it is beautiful and it is almost finished, so honour the time and fabric you have put into it by completing it.

I voted yes. If you hate it too much you can always donate it to charity. There is always someone out there who would love it! :)
I vote yes. Bind it. This is the perfect quilt for someone. And the table runner is very nice too!
I'll admit that the colors are not what I would choose, but I still think it's a pretty quilt! Bind it and find a worthy home!!! And yes, i voted.
I voted YES, it may not be in the colors you like but someone would love it... a sister, brother, aunt, uncle or friend perhaps..
Rhonda,
I know you know what Tim Gunn would say...."Make It Work". In all honesty, I LOVE this quilt. But then again, Rhonda, I also loved Mondo's work on Project Runway and he got voted off :( I'm in Project Runway withdrawl!! I think I look forward to it's next season as much as Spring. Hope you are keeping warm (binding this quilt..hint hint)!
You might think I'm weird, but I LOVE it! I'll adopt it for you! LOL!
I like your quilt. Just right for cuddling up and watching tv with. You may not like it but I bet you know someone who would. I would adopt it or you could bind it and donate it to a nursing home or woman's shelter. It would get plenty of loving.
I voted also, and I voted "yes". When you asked what the giveaway was going to be, I thought you were going to say it was this quilt top without the binding. I'm sure any one of us would have been satisfied with this quilt top. I know I certainly would have! dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
Looks like you will have to bind it! I think everyone including myself thinks it is great and needs to be finished. It is not my taste but waaaayyyyyyyy to good for the dog! I voted to bind and donate.
You don't mention what it is about the quilt you don't like. I think it's pretty and usable and voted for binding it. I especially love the floral fabric and the on point block placement. You did a nice job.
OK, since you asked, I voted YES, but only because I think it's a shame to waste the effort not to finish it off. I know you don't like it, but you know what - there are LOTS of folks that would LOVE to have a warm snuggly quilt, no matter what the fabric...so, yes, it's worth finishing, even if you just give it away please. Now the tablerunner on the other hand, that's adorable, so thanks for being so messy you won't use it!
I voted yes!! Love the quilt and the tablerunner!
I voted yes also. Once it's bound, washed and a bit crinkly, you will love it also.
I just voted and think you should definitely bind this quilt. I think the time and effort will be worth it!
Of course you should bind it. What would you do with it if you didn't? That would be a waste. If you don't like it enough to keep it, donate it. Someone else will love it.
blogged you!!!
I voted yes as well. I agree with Barbara - donate it if you don't want it.
I voted yes...I would use red to bind it with
I voted yes...you can always give it as a charity quilt. Someone will love it!
I voted yes!!! I would be honored to have that runner in my home -- I have a red/white/blue bedroom that would give it a wonderful home!!!
yes you should bind it! i voted although please don't enter me in the draw, i think someone else would make better use of the tablerunner. you could do a charity giveaway for the quilt if you really don't want it!
I voted yes - it is a beautiful quilt ... if you don't like it when it's finished - I'll take it... :)

I really like your quilt, and think it should be bound and used. Although my pound puppy Abbey would love to snuggle with (and yes, maybe chew it a little)! Love your tablerunner - blue is my favorite color.

Yes, yes, yes you should bind it. I like the quilt. If you don't want to keep it, I am sure some charity would love to have it. How about a QUILT OF VALOR?
The quilt is nice and voted for binding. If after binding the quilt you still do not like it - please consider a donation to a charity or nursing home. My family can use your pretty star tablerunner and do not have animals to chew on it. Please enter me into your drawing.
Rhonda you stinker!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course you need to place the binding on for my birtday present!!!!! What you can give Shannon a quilt and not me! Are you saying you love her more? Your so awesome and I would love to own anything you made silly!!!!!!! Now get to work!!!!!! Love you bunches and I miss you to! Ellen
I voted YES definitely bind it. It's a great quilt; I never would have thought it was ugly....now the dog's chair, that's ugly! And i love the table runner. My dining room is done in all patriotic colors, and the runner would be perfect!
I do not know anything about quilting and binding but that is one gorgeous quilt
I voted!
Please please finish this quilt!!
I voted! I say donate it if you don't want it! :)
I for one happen to really like this quilt and you can send it on to me if you really dislike it. The colors and workmanship are great.

I voted and would love that table runner, having been born in July! The quilt can always be given away at holiday time to a charity and someone who is cold will love it, even if you don't. Bind it with love for the less fortunate.
What are you talking about? This quilt looks wonderful. It is a keeper and therefore, you are going to put the binding. I voted for it.
Although binding is my least favorite thing to do, I voted to bind the quilt (uh, and I can do that because I won't have to DO it!). I'm not a yellow/gold person, but it's still a very nice quilt.
I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Of course it is worth binding, it is so lovely. Don't use it for the dog, i am sure it will be wonderful to cuddle up in!!!!
p.s sad ending for the chair;)

I'm agree with the 96% of the people. I don't know why you don't like it..., I love the colors!!!
Great post. Lovely quilt. Truly, finish the quilt by putting binding on it. I think you'll love it even more. You've done a great job getting it this far - finish it.
And I love your cute table runner too!

I voted. Bind the quilt and give it to a charity. Just because you don't care for it doesnt mean someone else would not love to have it.
I voted yes as well! I like this quilt. I know there would be some willing individual who would love to have this beauty!
Oh, yes...bind that quilt!!!
I think it is to pretty for a dog. I voted.
I voted "yes" because every quilt is worth binding, and I can't see reason you don't like it.
I love the tablerunner. Hope I win.
