Taking the easy way out...

OK, I admit it:  I was really tired of these fabrics.

I probably should have put them away for a few weeks and come back to them when I had a fresh perspective, but I also wanted to get the last top DONE. So I took the easy way out and did 6.5" blocks with sashing.


I worked through quite a few different ideas for this one, but they all came out way too busy, and ugly, much like the first one I did. So I stuck with simple, and didn't let the yellow overpower everything like it tends to do.

It's a relief to have all three tops done -- so now I can stress about getting them quilted in time for Christmas. It's only six weeks away!
