**How many blocks have you completed?
**Do you have more of the same fabrics already used for these "ugly blocks"?
**Are you willing to take these blocks apart (into the 4 unit squares)?
If your answers are "YES" then re-combine putting 2 of the pink V shape (Chevron) together/pairing with 2 Yellow V shape. Pair the Green Plaid V shapes with the Grey, etc. In other words, SIMPLIFY the blocks by eliminating some colors and giving greater CONTROL over the colors included.
Or try putting all the small blocks 'On Point.'

I agree with everyone else here, it's not ugly at all! The worst word I could possible imagine is "busy". I like it, would be perfect for a toddler or young child as suggested too. I know my DGS would love it, and he's 2. So much to discover in just what ya have shown. Keep going, it's gonna be great and so playful.
