As far as putting the blocks together, I just sewed the smaller ones together and added to them as needed to make them all 12-1/2". DH and I both did the maximum number of sets, so we could get enough to make a larger quilt.
The first pic is the whole quilt (minus the pending borders, of course).
The second pic is half the quilt, closer up.
The third pic is the other half of the quilt, closer up.
And the fourth and fifth pics are the two top corners that didn't show up well. DH's arms weren't quite long enough to hold the quilt out straight.

I am working on an arrangement of the blocks, I sure like the assortment I received. Thank you so much.I need to make a couple of 3" blocks for the corners on the sashing and then I put purple flower on point so need to finish that. Here is my draft. What think?

I have been working on this since my blocks came back. I bordered most of the blocks to make them fit and made several extra blocks myself to add to my quilt. I hope the color is good. I love it and want to thank everyone for your blocks in my quilt! It was challenging but so fun!
