It's actually red, or at least that's what I alway called it, and it was such a nice soft brushed cotton.

I wouldn't say it was ugly. I just love scrappy quilts

I don't think it's ugly BUT, having said that, making the beige sashing strips a little narrower may have helped (maybe) or maybe not. Beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder.

I think it is fine. And as others have pointed out, someone will love it. Certainly someone will appreciate the warmth it can offer them.

Kinda like it. I have been there and done that. All that work and you look at it and go what! That's not what I planned on!

I like it! You are not asking but I am just saying that the 'blank brown' needs some stitching or applique. Would love to see this quilt when it is quilted.

I don't think it is ugly, a little busy, maybe. I like it.

it is not ugly at all. I love how you layed out the pattern very interesting. As DebraK said quilt it up and go from there. but I like it myself. nice job,

You've made a nice quilt! I'd quilt the tan borders/sashings with red/blue/steel gray threads in an interesting design, then the rest of the pieced sections in off-white or an offset thread selection to pull it all together in a very nice way. How it's quilted can make it all work together.

Well here's a vote YES, it's a keeper for sure, I love it.
