Default When it just isn't working....

I am making a quilt for my Moms 90 birthday. I have 3 embroidered designs that will be the vertical center of the quilt. I'm creating a simple 5"Block patchwork effect on each side of the embroidered designs.
I purchased a $$ pricey layer cake that looked ok in the quilt shop but now just does not work with the design. Feeling like I failed when I picked out the fabric. I hate the thought of starting over and spending more $$$ on this but I really dislike the way the fabrics look together...colors blend but just too much repetition!! I have added some plain fabrics but still not what I wanted it to look like. First time I have purchased a precut and it just might be my last.
Hard and pricey lesson. Gotta move on
