I'm making a baby quilt on short notice. It has to be done by April 20th. It's important to add that I'm new to quilting, a major procrastinator, and I work full-time. The mom picked a Dr. Seuss theme. I thought I would make a quilt similar to my avatar since that was easy and I love how it turned out.

Well, I'm not feeling this quilt at all. It just seems boring. I was going to use the yellow fabric for the sashing, but I do not like it at all. I like the white better, but it still does nothing for me. I was going to do a 2.5 inch saching and then do a boarder of 2.5X5" rectangles of the different Dr. Seuss fabrics with the red and white polka dot as the binding. I used 5 inch squares to make the big field of blocks. Is there some easy method where you can cut the four patch block and make a pinwheel? What else could I do? I'm really picky and my daughter says I should just put it together like I planned. TIA for any advice you can offer.
