Oh... I didn't notice the difference in those 2 fabrics. Rats! How about rotating each of those blocks 180 degrees as you swap them. That will put the paisley on the other side of those columns which would actually make the horizontal and vertical patterns more similar (alternating paisley/solid/floral ... floral/solid/paisley).
Good luck. I hope you can find something that makes you happy, with minimal ripping.
