It's a Crow's Nest !

Crow's Nest
It's a top!
40.5 x 54

I used up more brown scraps to make these 13.5 inch finished blocks.  I don't have many yellow scraps or much yellow yardage but I did find enough small pieces of yellow to use in these blocks. I thought yellow would brighten up those browns a bit more than a white or cream. 
I've been making different variations of the Churn Dash block this year like Hole in the Barn Door and Monkey Wrench. This time it is a Crow's Nest block. 

And sew on...

I'm not familiar with that block either. Great variation on a Churn Dash!

I’ve never heard of the Crows nest block but your flimsy looks good. I’m always learning something new on your blog.

There - you did it again! Another great top pulled out of the air!
(Adding my voice to the chorus of new-block-to-me - thanks!)

This variation of the classic Churn Dash block is also new to me. And your top turned out pretty good.

You are something else. Great version of the churndash with interesting scraps.

I like how you made this block. It is more interesting than the "regular" churn dash block! Way to go on putting together another flimsy. You are amazing with all that you accomplish!

Nice quilt top finish Cathy. I too am working on a churn dash variation right now. They are so much fun to make. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

That's an interesting design variaton. And an interesting size! I like the negative colorway (light rings, dark background).

That looks really cool!

A fun variation of Churn Dash and clever to make the nest lighter than the background. You are the best.
