    I agree. This is the solution.

    I think your blocks are lovely. Here are a couple options for arrangements:

    Jennifer23, I love the second option! What a difference it makes!

    I do think the colors and fabrics say "Christmas" rather than "baby".

    I think the fabrics/colors say "fall/autumn" - I'm seeing rust, gold, and sort of a yellowed green. At least on my monitor.

    I agree with the majority of the comments. Rearranging the blocks will make a big difference. I love the 2nd and 3rd pictures of being rearranged.

    Your choice of borders will make or break the blocks. I think maybe a really dark floral border would make them pop!

    Rotate the blocks until you find something you like. I agree that this is not a pretty lay out at all.

    I don't see anything wrong with it. Probably needs borders but I think it's lovely.
