My most recent quilt

This morning, I blogged about my first quilt. The challenge (mentioned here) was also to blog about your most recent quilt. I'm going to cheat a bit by talking about the project I'm currently working on, mainly because I think it needs help!!

The pieces at left are sitting on our guest bed (whcih doubles as my design wall). In the end, this would be a wall-hanging. When finished, it will have a two borders (floral & brown) and red-white striped bias binding. (here's a version from the book, Charmed & Dangerous from Anka's Treasures)

The reason these pieces are sitting on my guest bed instead of being stitched together is that I'm not in love with this at all. Why finish it if I'm never going to like it?

Any ideas what I should do with it?

Here are some ideas I'm considering:

--Pull out all the light-colored prints (other than around the star, though I might change that up, too) and maybe the orange, too. I'd have to substitute with something else to finish the project (and finding more fabric in this line might be hard since I bought this stuff last fall in Houston), but I think it would help.

--Pull out those fabrics I don't like and re-arrange the rest into something else. I'd have to put on my creative designer hat, but at least I could finish the project without buying anything else.

By the way, the original collection (Cotton Blossoms, which ironically enough was designed by the person who posted the challenge) also included a bunch of teal/blue fabrics and several nice lighter prints. I pulled those out (thinking they were wrong for the color scheme here) and have already cut them for another project.

Any advice?
