OK. Get ready. Here it is..........
The quilt is far from ugly and it's obvious you've done a good job piecing it. If you don't like the border, how about taking it to a store and put some fabrics on it to see what will enhance the quilt. You have several colors to choose from. Which color would you like to see dominating the quilt. Please show us what you decide to do but it's definitely worth quilting.

I had one that I started and hated, felt it was the ugliest quilt on the planet and put it away until I learned more, tore it apart and completely reconstructed it - it's my 38 year quilt that was completed just before our 38th anniversary and is my avatar.
Click on my user name and it will take you to my profile, go to my bookmarks and click on 38 year quilt to see how I changed it to get the one in my avatar.

You may need to take a break, work on other projects, learn a bit more and one day you'll be inspired on how to correctly finish this quilt up and turn it into one you'll treasure as much as my family and I treasure m 38 year quilt.
