Modern Quilt: Eva by Basic Grey

I wouldn't say Mom and I are modern quilters.  We like the standard, tried and true quilt blocks and we rarely use any novelty fabrics.  We've spent a lot of time looking at fabric lines, noticing the differences between cotton quilting fabric manufacturers and the quality of pre-cuts.  At first, we bought a LOT of charm packs.  It seemed like an easy way to get started.  We made up a pattern for our first quilts, then moved on to a Bento Box pattern.  Mom was whipping up quilts in about 3 days!  Right after the holidays I decided to make a quilt out of some Eva pre-cuts by Basic Grey.  I started with this: Eva and a coordinating polka dot and an idea from an old quilting magazine:

And I ended up with this block! Totally not 'me', but I loved it:

So, I love the colors and the blocks - but it's way too busy for me.  I've sewn it all together, but - yes, GASP - I'm going to take it apart.  I think I would be happier with the blocks separated by sashing instead of just all jumbled up like this.  It's a queen sized quilt - I can't seem to make anything smaller.  I'll post pix when I take it apart and reassemble it!

p.s. I took the little pieces that were left over and sewed them together for a clutch!  It's not finished, but the two outside panels are done:
