I like it too! It's a really interesting geometric design. I often think about adding a few freehand appliqued flowers to one of my quilts. Maybe you might like something like that although I always go through a stage with each quilt that I question my choices. Sometimes pattern, sometimes colors, usually by the time it's done, I've come back around to liking it again. Maybe you will too but you won't know until it's done! Good Luck!

It really isn't an Ugly quilt. I would applique some spring flowers on it in some bright colors. Maybe poppies or Sunflowers as someone else mentioned

I think you have a nice quilt here. I don't think of the colors as boring, but just muted or primitive. I think the others are correct that if you want to jazz it up, some elaborate quilting with a stand-out thread will do the trick.
