GRANDMOTHER'S FLOWER GARDEN - HELP!

Recently Sue of The House that Love Built had a post about her progress on her Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt.  I commented that I was working on one too, and it was currently in my UFO pile.  She mentioned that she would like to see it, and I told her I would post about it.  These blocks above are just a few of those I have finished.  I have 17 blocks completed (I was going to say "so far" but I think I'm done making blocks).

I don’t know what size Sue’s blocks are, but my blocks are made up of 2 ½-inch hexagons which make a 13-inch block.  I started this quilt years ago, when I first started quilting.  I had never done English Paper Piecing before and had no idea what I was doing.  Now I wish I had made all the centers the same color.  However, I am not taking these apart to make new centers.  We’ll just deal with what I have.

The challenge for me is putting them together. I had no instructions and just started making a white "path." However, I soon realized I needed to do some planning as not each hexagon will require a “path” attached to it. I think that was when I gave up and put this in my UFO pile. I’m not sure I like the white path either. I really don’t know what to do with these blocks and would be grateful for any suggestions. Maybe just appliqué them to a strip of fabric and make a table runner, or place mats. Any ideas?

Jane has a wonderful tutorial at Stash Manicure on what else you can do with that Dresden Plate ruler. I really like this block and can’t wait to give it a try.
