It looks okay to me. But you know what? If you hate it, just stop. If you hate these blocks so much, don't use them for your BFF. Cut them apart and sew em back together with a bright kid novelty. Nine blocks makes a cute baby quilt. Donate it to project Linus or Quilts for Kids-- some baby will be comforted and some mother will love it!
Check out new magazines and books. Look through your stash. Go to the quilt shop. Design another quilt for your BFF, and get to gettin it done. Life is short. So sew quilts!
