Those are beautiful blocks, so don't stop now. See nothing wrong with what you have started. Take a couple of days off and then come back to these blocks, or take a couple blocks and just leave them to look at for several days and ideas should come to you. At least it works for me.

How about adding an alternating solid block of the gold or burgandy (used in corner triangles) with th appropriate block. You could have 2 quilts.

I think it grows on one - in a good way -

This isn't as bad as you think. I bet if you played with the blocks some more, and added sashing, you would find something really nice that suited you. I think this could have a very elegant look once you find the right way. Good luck and have fun with it. It's all part of the joy of quilting.

IMHO--put them on point with the snowball block as Mkotch recommended or another nice set could be a stripy with the blocks either on point or straight.

Good suggestions from everyone. Really like the different fabrics. Maybe the second one has too many prints together? Too busy? Look forward to seeing the finished product. Don't quit now you have all of us wanting to see this beautiful quilt (know that it will be great). You have done such a good job on them it would be sad to not have it completed.

I like your blocks. Lots of suggestions. I was thinking set them on point with dark HST on the light and light HST on the dark blocks. You could also sash them in grouping of four blocks. The fabric is great and you've done great work piecing them.

wow... this is a LOT of advice. THANK YOU. I did not expect this. VM Rooks could you post a photo of the quilt you finished of these blocks?

I've put the fabric away for a bit. To mature. (LOVE THAT!)
But I'm glad to know that there is this wonderful set of responses that I can turn to when the fabric has aged enough. ;-)

Thank you, everyone!

When I was first starting to cross stitch, I made some mistakes on this huge project (I started BIG) and I didn't know what to do. I put it away. Then, after several years, and more cross stitching, I got it back out. I saw that I had done a lot of work, decided I could adjust the pattern (the mistake was in the flowers and actually quite easy to fix once I had some experience) and finished it. It turned out beautifully!

So, your idea to let it "mature" may not be all that bad of an idea.

I think they are lovely and will be curious what you decide to make with them.
