    Something to try: tea-dye the whole thing. I've seen some really pretty quilts that were tea-dyed. It brings all the colors closer together, and makes them look like they came out of the same line.

    You can use coffee, too.

    Take a few of the fabric scraps left from the blocks you made and try it. See how you like it.
