sewing detour

the constant glare of purple resulted in my eyes drooping, so i took a tiny detour and assembled these chunky churndash blocks.  a few years ago i participated in a swap and made about 24 of these, sent them off and never got anything back!  not sure what happened but i found these leftovers and so decided to make them up.  at some point i'll make a lot more and put together a flimsy to tie and donate, probably.  or, i might keep it because don't ya know, i love scrappy quilts!  **** basking in march weather here in late january; the calendar means nothing at all this winter!  i'm only hoping it doesn't turn on us come june/july/august.  **** just about over my cold and so hoping to get into my browns/muslin project soon and maybe those little houses too...aren't they adorable?

  1. Too much purple can do that to you, even though I love it!
    How disappointing about that block swap!
    This is the second Chunky Churndash I have seen on blogs lately. It is a fun scrappy pattern!
    Oh, no. Have you been bitten by the construction bug, too? Stay back--I'm hoping I won't catch it! I.Don't.Need.Another.Project!!

  2. A "sewing detour" is a perfect term for switching projects when you need a bit of a change.
    I love scrappy and the churn dashes that you show are great fun to look at with just a bit of Christmas peeking at us. You have a good attitude to not be still cussing out the other swappers! LOL I'm not that charitable. I'd make voodoo dolls of them and use them as pincushions.
