Fall Festival
4 - 15 inch blocks so far
Back in 2015 I participated in several themed Chunky Churn Dash swaps - Patriotic, Floral, 30s Reproductions and Fall. My intent was to see how many different layouts I could come up with for the Chunky Churn Dashes. It was sort of a self-imposed challenge. I blogged about it back in October 2015. So far I have only finished a quilt from the Patriotic blocks - a Quilt of Valor for my brother-in-law.
Fast forward to this year and Kaja ( of Sew Slowly blog and Ad Hoc Improv Quilting monthly linky co-hostess) issued a quarterly challenge to use alternate blocks so I dug out the floral themed Chunky Churns and then dug into the Parts Department for some fall themed four patches and framed them so they were the same six inch size as the CCDs. I also found some fall themed 3 inch 9 patches for block centers. I didn't have any Flying Geese in the Parts Dept. so made some alternating dark and light cornered 1.5 x 3 inch geese (finished size).
I came up with two different but similar 15 inch blocks.
Parts Dept.
So now I guess I'll see how many CCDs I have and make some dark cornered flying geese so I can make up those blocks. Then I'll know how many four patches I need to frame and how many light corned flying geese I need to make for the alternate block.

I like that chunky churndash--and how your blocks are coming together...

Wow, variations on a theme. I love that kind of exploring and innovation.
I'll enjoy seeing more of this.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!
Amazing! The Chunky Churn Dash looks like it plays well with others.
What a fun quilt. And you have a Parts Department. I think about starting one but know I'd get lost in the parts. Still... so tempting. Congratulations on an alternate block quilt. Actually an alternate setting.
Fun on every level!
Love your improv piecing and especially those CCDs. My Parts Department is not as well stocked as yours. I keep raiding it to make kitty donation quilts.
lots to see here with all these blocks what a great quilt you will have so colourful too. I think we all get pleasure of working with scraps and coming up with such a variety of blocks
This is a great idea for those blocks, Cathy. It's going to be gorgeous!
Very fun! Love how whimsical this one will be!
I like this plan a lot. Also, I wish I had your parts department.
Wow! This is crazy....crazy good! Why can't I think of things like this? You continue to inspire me, Cathy.
