    Sometimes the ones we think are ugly turn out to be our favorite!
    For sure audition several different colors for sashing and try setting them on point just to see how you like that look. Be sure to let us know what you decide.

    You could set on point with bright squares in between. Just a thought.

    I agree a splash of red or teal or any bright print/color would give this quilt a new adjective. You shouldn't finish it until you've tried out a couple of corner stones or sashings. Don't give up, it is a great beginning and someone is going to LOVE it.

    I don't think this is ugly at all, and I am not a big fan of brown. Some light sashing or cornerstones in red perhaps and you're good to go.

    I personally don't see the red... but you could certainly audition different colors by just laying these blocks on top of any big enough piece of fabric until you find the perfect color. I am almost leaning to pinks (because of the brown) rather than red.

    Not ugly at all, just needs a splash of color to perk it up!

    I like the red sashing idea - what about a rogue red/white/tan block in place of one of the blocks and off-center it. that is if you don't mind an asymetrical quilt.
