GFG Progress - Applique basted

This afternoon I finished basting all the applique into place on my GFG quilt.  I am so excited to get started on actually doing the applique and then the hand quilting.  Here are snapshots of the borders I have set up.  

I am recovering from Detached Retina surgery and trying to work with only one good eye.  I have this gas bubble that shows up in my right eye and am wearing a patch.  The gas bubble really distorts my vision so the patch allows me to at least see somewhat better out of my left eye.

Finally, after much deliberation and racking my brain, I came up with a border design for my Granny's Flower Garden quilt. I had already decided to make a blue border of hexies and then do some applique on the border. But what to do????? Here is the design I have decided on for the two sides and bottom border. The top border is still under design but very nearly done. So this is the design I came up with - not appliqued down yet.
