First cut out two more from your stash to make 42 which is 6 by 7 blocks. That is a little better size for a bed...
Then applique something in the opposite color on each square of fabric - for instance a blue flower on a yellow block, and a yellow flower on a blue block. Use a theme of flowers, or birds, or dragonflies, or frogs, or dogs, or cats, or little dresden plates, or Sunbonnet Sue, just for a few ideas.
If the variety of the kinds of fabric is too great to do this,
use them as sources of applique, because it is often hard to find that variety.
