Can This Be Saved??

Sometimes I think I'm smarter than I really am and this discarded afghan proves it.  I set this aside quite a while ago because it wasn't turning out as I'd hoped.  I thought I could make up my own pattern as I went along and make this into a really happy, colorful afghan but it looks empty to me so I had to stop working on it and put it aside.

The fabric is that gorgeous turquoise blue and it deserves a beautiful pattern.  I decided to save what I could and remove what I couldn't stand so wish me well!
