I agree, post pictures. And remember that often a quilt top looks blah until it's quilted, and then it becomes beautiful.

I guess I am going to have to post pictures tomorrow. You just won't believe me until you see how blah and mismatched it turn out - hahaha

I agree with everyone else here. It's not hopeless yet, as it's not finished. Every quilt needs at least one "zinger" fabric to not look "flat", and often it's simply something that just doesn't match well. I hope you are able to post pics--we're all so curious now!

I'm curious to see your "blah" quilt. The first thing that also came to my mind before I read the other suggestions, was applique or embroidery. Or maybe tickertape pops of color on it. Monochromatic is very popular with some people.

Maybe you can post pictures of them and trade blocks with someone, ie yours for theirs? lol

How about using it as the backing of a quilt??

Hey how about a beautiful applique and a vine over the quilt..? Think of the blah blocks as background and put little sayings on it...or your name...
Every quilt has a reason... finish up what you want to do with it and give it away to someone who will love it..

I did the samething in green tan and brown!!!

Then I found a wildlife panel that I can cut in section and use as main focus on my quilt It should look pretty good :-).

Hope this idea can save your quilt too.

Don't throw anything out, you never know when something will hit you and say thats where I can put it. Use as a border, or placemats, pillow cases.

Can you make a slash or a cut here and there and stitch in a fabric to make it stand up and sing.
