Not ugly at all. Maybe some rough edge applique in the corners to fill up some of the space would do just the trick.

I would change the outer border and it will look stunning.

I don't call that ugly. If you don't want it I'll take it.

I changed it 3 times and again had to stop and realized this really is ugly. Ugly quilts do exist. Oh well thought I'd share. Back to the drawing board before all my masculine fabric is wasted.

Find something in a matching color to applique to the huge white triangles. Maybe even just a 4 patch or 9 patch block.

Outside of way too much white, I love the rest of the quilt.
