Using up some block swap blocks and a quilting project block

I was looking through some odd boxes I have and came across these blocks I received in the 12" & 6"  block swaps. I asked for autumn colours and maple leaves.
These groups blogs are no longer operating as they are on Facebook. I am not so I don't see what is happening but I wanted to do something with the blocks.

  This is the centre block that I used. It was a quilt as you go, raw edged applique and machine quilting techniques taught by Helen Godden.... what was I to do with it.. I don't do wall hangings...
Machine quilting class with Helen Godden held at Heathcote Quilters

So this is what I have come up with so far....
A play with ideas

This is what I have decided on

Fabulous idea! I do a few wallhangings, but mostly I like queen sized quilts that will fit my beds.
