Bounce UFO

I have one UFO.  I know, don't hate me, but I do not like UFOs.  I've had this one for a few years.  Several years ago I took a class with Kaffe Fassett in Houston.  The class was for the Bounce quilt.  We spent the entire class choosing colors and working on the design wall.  No sewing.  Got home and there it sat.  This is the current state.  Need to finish sewing the circles with the blanket stitch for machine applique. 

 

What's next?  To sew corners on 400+ squares snowball block style.  Think I want to do that?  That's why it has remained a UFO. This is what it looks like in the book all done.

 And I've decided I no longer like this quilt and probably won't keep it when done.  So, why spend all that time to make 400+ snowball blocks.  I'm waving the white flag on this one.  Since the center is 40 X 52 I am going to finish the applique and quilt it.  It will then be a donation quilt for a children's charity.  Some little girl will love this pink one. 

How have I avoided additional UFOs?  A friend of mind told me a few years ago that she has put together a collection of fabrics that coordinate and every class she takes she makes a few of the blocks taught in the class.  When she has enough blocks from various classes she will then put them together for a quilt.  BINGO!  That's is what I'm doing now.  Have you ever thrown in the towel on a UFO?
