All pairs of blocks cut, swapped and sewn together. One leftover block from center (throwaway, not shown) will be given to Project Linus, along with scraps from this and other quilts.

This and next photo: Auditioning border fabrics
Settled for this green print. Really wanted a purple floral found at Joann's. On sale, but still too much. Green less expensive. Looks okay.
Design notes
Not happy with green border, gave in and bought purple floral, seen above.
Preparing to quilt. Quilting in sections: center, sides. Started with center section; quilt layers spray basted. Using 1/4" quilting tape to mark the edge for quilting, leaving seam allowance unquilted.
Stitched curved lines from corner to corner around beige floral and brown toile areas.
