Unhappy ARRRGGGH - I HATE my Drunkard's Path!!!

Ugh - I had finally bought a bunch of batiks and agonized over a pattern. Finally chose Drunkard's Path and hand stitched the curved pieces then decided to hand piece everything. The blocks are 12 x 12, each block is made up of 4 small blocks with the curved quarter circles. I made 25 blocks total, half in red/pink, the other half in blue/green.

I wanted to do the pattern like Elise1's in the Picture Gallery but I couldn't figure out how the blocks should turn so in the end I kept it so that each small block is part of a full circle (instead of a 3/4 circle) but each pie shaped piece is a different color.I hand pieced the small blocks into the big blocks and I am just about done hand piecing the rows.

I HATE it! It doesn't look different - I could have appliqued a bunch of circles onto a background and saved myself the trouble!!! I am now going to rip everything out and start rearranging the small blocks because if i complete it, I won't like it and I really wanted to like it!!!

wahhhhhhh!
