OK ... the layout idea is pretty much the same, but I ironed back the border and moved all the blocks in ...

do you prefer with or without the border?

Also, I haven't put the extra fabric on the backing yet, so yes, you will still see some of the black fabric ... that's the next step before I start quilting it all together!

Thanks again for all of the suggestions
