I've been swapping various themed six inch Chunky Churn Dash blocks with the Block Swappers Yahoo Group to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the group. I thought it would be a fun challenge to figure out a different layout for each theme I decide to swap. I think this is the layout I'll use for the fall themed CCDs (not yet swapped). I framed some swapped fall looking four inch four patches with 1.5 inch pieces, made some 1.5x3 inch flying geese for sashing and plopped a swapped 3 inch nine patch in the center.
Floral theme...I will add some 6 inch snowballs with butterflies and other fabrics of things found in a garden. I just quickly made snowballs out of some 6.5 inch butterfly charms swapped long ago.
Patriotic/red/white/blue theme...I'll use Twinklers for the alternate block. I took some Twinklers from my Rainbow Scrap Challenge pile just to see if I liked the block with the CCDs. I do.
30s Theme...I think I will set them on point.

ReplyDeleteThese blocks are so great! I love all the different sets!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very clever. I love each and every layout. Thanks for sharing them with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThey're all fun, but I'm in love with the one at the top!
ReplyDeleteLove the snowball quilt especially. There's always something fun to see over here!
ReplyDeleteI like the the last grouping! Something about those 30's fabrics!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see your various layouts! Clever you.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteThis seems such a simple idea (now that you've said it!) but the sets you have come up with are lovely. I especially like the first picture: I would quite happily put that on my bed right now.
ReplyDeleteWow, love seeing all the different layouts! I'm such a fan of truly scrappy blocks (as opposed to the manufactured scrappy so often featured in books/magazines); I really enjoy the different look of all the CCD blocks, with the variations in fabric colors and light/dark combination. They can appear to be such different blocks!
ReplyDeleteDelightful.
