Churn Dash Challenge

As I'm working on my new squirrel project that I chatted about on my last post, an oldie UFO is being released from the shelf!

Chookyblue (http://chookyblue.blogspot.com/) is having a sew-along of a churn dash quilt.  She wanted to know who else would be interested.  Well, me of course as I so love that block.  

But ..... something was bugging me.  I was sure that I had made a churn dash quilt before.  Well, yes I did with this quilt, which is one of my favourite scrappy quilts made so far.  This has been gifted and I really need to make another.  This is a good quilt for using up strings and scraps of odd shaped pieces and a good quilt to have on hand for a sudden gifting.

Then, the churn dash block was used to make this wall hanging.
But, these were not the quilts that kept bugging me.  Finally, the light bulb went on and ding, ding, ding ..... there was a UFO that got started and abandoned.  As in way back in 2014 as per the date on my photo.

So, instead of starting a new project, I will just continue working on this one instead.  So far, there are 10 of the smaller corner stone blocks already made and that is where this project was abandoned.  Ten small blocks and packaged up and stored on a shelf.  Why, why, why?  Probably because the squirrels came out and off I went on something else.  This is my design that was drawn up on my EQ software program and will be a large queen size.

Thank you Chooky for the push to get me going again on this old UFO!

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

    Isn't it nice to have other Quilter's looking out for you. You can still sew along but finish something that you designed. Win, win.

    Love your scrappy churn dash, I've been looking at one like it on Pinterest, but I'll stick to Chookys pattern this time.
    Have fun with your UFO, that is another lovely design, it will be fun to sew along together.

    Do you have a pattern for that scrappy churn dash or did you just adapt another pattern? I love it, and just must make it.
