After finishing my exPeariment blocks I made another three using the needle turned applique method that worked best for me, and then worked out an arrangement I liked.
After that I trimmed the blocks and embroidered them with some vintage yellow perle thread.
For the backing I used a thrifted pale yellow broadcloth.
The finished piece fit the top of my little folding editing table perfectly. It's not perfect, but I like it.
I had mixed emotions while I worked on this project; I liked learning more about applique, using fancy fabrics and figuring out a pleasing arrangement. I'm still not in love with the color yellow, but I think the aversion therapy of using only this color helped me appreciate its sunny beauty a little more.
