Thanks for showing us that sometimes the first (or second) idea don't work for you, that's encouraging to a newbie. And the idea of chopping up some of the blocks and reassembling is also something that might not first occur to a quilter who has painstakingly sewn the block.

It's an orderly quilt after all as a medallion, but quirky and random at the same time. Framing the blocks and adding slim borders really helped also. A fun finish!
