No, please don't banish the "blah" blocks. You would be surprised how many people the earth tone colors. You might combine the rest of your blocks and finish the quilt then contact your local LQS to see if they know of a worthy recepient, like someone in a nursing home or cancer treatment center. Please do not give up. I am sure it will be wonderful when it's finished.

I would just put togther what you have done and donate it! I put togeter a sudoko quilt Friday night and YUK! A niece walked its and loved it. All a matter of taste. I'll finish it and give it to her. I have a second on all cut from the same colors. That one will be donated!
Lessons learned about taste and projects I guess for us both.

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.

Looks quite masculine to me. If they were my blocks, I would sew 4 blocks, randomly, into a 4patch block. I'd sash each block with a narrow med. or dark blue strip. With some border, should make 2 very nice quilts for boys or men. They are worth rescuing. Good luck with whatever you decide.
