Well I disagree, because you will have trouble putting it together....What I would do is trim each block, by layng a ruler or pattern on top and cutting around it so they are all the same size. If you are brave, you can cut each block diagonaly into 4 triangles. Now you will have interesting shapes to arrange - try a pinwheel to start.
You could cut each block into a nine pieces (like a nine patch),.making interesting squares to sew together.

Well, I disagree, because I think that you think it is not interesting enough...To rescue it, first square it, and trim
all the blocks to the exact same size. Then if you are brave, cut the blocks diagonally into four triangles. Now you will have more interesting shapes to arrange!
Another plan is to cut each block into thirds or nines.
When you arrange those randomly, it could make an interesting scrappy looking quilt. Try the idea first by using construction paper blocks. JP
