Doubt you can make it out... but I machine quilted the shape of Texas in each corner, then a big star in the center. Plus outlined each picture/square. After that, I tied the rest. Was going to machine quilt diagional lines across, but the back kept puckering. I'm happy with it and think my friend will be too.
Again, thank y'all for your encouragement.

Yes, like the final arrangement much better. You done good girl. To prevent puckering on the backing, I use the basting spray & a walking foot for cross hatch quilting. These two items are a must for me. I never get puckers. I can see the big star & the Texas in the corners. Like I said, you done good.

I think I would be tempted to place the picture blocks in the center then work around with the blue... and then the green I would arrange the color blocks so they act as a frame ......sort of trip around the world style..then add a border with one of the fabrics used...not the print..
