Default TOO Busy Blocks

What should I do to make a 2- diamond & 1-square block that is sewed in All print so I can calm it down (hopefully) without taking All 24 blocks apart? every block has print and most of that is mini-print flowers. This quilt was given to me in the bottom of the black trash bag Full of all kinds and sizes of pieces of fabric. I received these blocks (all sewed into 6-inch blocks) to 12 yards of underslip fabric. Of which I'm going to make slips for dolls for Christmas. Firm decision. I did take 3 blocks apart down the center seam. Found the person did not cut the pieces on a straight line nor did the person sew it on a straight line. I'm threatening my 2 cats that they will have a new blanket to argue over but if I can save it I'd like to do that first.
I put it on my wall and I could not see where the design stopped at any place in the block. I found the only place I continued to look at was my white wall.

All help greatly appreciated.
