Since I sewed all the pieces, string method, I can't even save the 157 squares, unless I spend a LOT of time ripping seams. Lesson learned... LOVE ALL YOUR FABRICS FIRST. Using "just okay" fabrics with other "just okay" fabrics is NOT going to miraculously turn them into something gorgeous.

Don't throw anything away. Your "blah" might be someone else's "aahhhhhh". Post a pic and someone here may love it.
