This has a lot of work in it so I wouldn't totally scrap it. I think you need to take the squares apart and iron them. Then perhaps you will need a few more appliqued squares. I also think it needs some colors that aren't quite so neutral...too many similar colors too close together.
The appliques are very pretty and well done. It has a southwest feel to it too. A few more desert animals, a couple of desert rock formations in clay red or dark brown, a cactus, an arroyo
This could become a beautiful quilt in a desert theme or western theme room.
