A FINISH (A TOP, ANYWAY)!

After spending tons a bit of time staring at my bundle of Lucy's Crab Shack, I finally came up with a plan!  I spent ages looking for the perfect pattern, searching Google and Pinterest, and looking through old quilt magazines trying to find a pattern that would show off these adorable prints without cutting them up too small or turning them in all different directions! Here's what I finally came up with...
 

 
I'm really loving how this turned out. I love the simplicity of it and the fact that you can actually see the prints! This little top measures about 36 x 40 inches. If anyone is interested, I used three sizes of rectangles - one 4.25 x 7, one 3.25 x 7, and one 2.25 x 7 (finished size) and made five columns of 20 blocks.  Now, the only problem is...I have no idea how I'm going to quilt it.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Linking up with Amanda Jean for Finish It Up Friday! Have a great weekend!
