Friendship Block Swap

I am thinking about the next stage of my teaparty. Here are the blocks, in no particular order. Some of them will need a border and then perhaps some sashing, but what colour? Then I will need to think about layout. Lots of questions! If you have any suggestions to make I would very much appreciate your views!
The lovely people in my photo are Mike and my friend Maureen - who were very patient with me while I was taking this.

Tessa has just suggested that I take a colour which appears in some of the blocks and use it for the sashing. Take a look at the lovely pale blue which appears in the third row. Now how would that look?

Last night at my prayer group my friend Marilyn shared this lovely prayer with us all.

He Was There

Jesus heard when you prayed last night.
He talked with God about you;
Jesus was there when you fought that fight.
He is going to bring you through.
Jesus knew when you shed those tears.
But you did not weep alone;
For the burden you thought too heavy
to bear, He made His very own.
Jesus Himself was touched by that trial,
which you could not understand;
Jesus stood by as you almost fell,
And lovingly grasped your hand.
Jesus cared when you bore that pain,
Indeed. He bore it too; He felt each pang,
each ache in your heart,
Because of
His love for you.
