Look what I did!

Here are before and after photos. I posted the before earlier seeking help for this ugly top, and then I had an inspiration--I added the black strips on 2 sides of each block. I like it now. :-) So now I'm trying to decide how to quilt it. One idea would be to do a FMQ flower in the center of every block, along the lines of Lori Kennedy's flower:

But I'd love to hear some other suggestions from y'all.
Thanks for looking!

I don't know how to quilt it but I love the dimension you have now with the new look.

That does look better, but how did you add the black strips after the block was made?

Total different look. Very nice.

Raw edge applique. It would have been a lot easier to piece them from the beginning!
