Earlier this month 9 more Churn Dashes were completed for Chooky's Churn Dash SAL....
I had to change the pink for these blocks as I had run out...
I am pushing ahead on this one as we will be spending time with family when the SAL finishes.... I know there is no pressure but I don't really want to end up with yet another UFO
It's loaded up and quilting has begun.... I am doing an all over meandering ribbon... keep it nice and soft
Meanwhile handwork has resulted in another block for Civil War Bride... I have really cooled down doing this and need to do more preparation.
I did make an adaption in this one.. there was a rope in the hands of the man and the elephant was tied to it.... left that out.
Righto, Gotto Go... I have some Churn Dashes to quilt.....
Looking forward to seeing other versions...

Good for you to plan ahead since you'll be away at the end of the sew-along!
I looked hard but could not see a difference in the pink fabrics. The difference is very subtle.
What an amazing quilt! I like how you reversed the pink and the grey from one block to the next.
That was thoughtful of you to leave out the rope around the elephant's neck. Be kind to elephants, I say. I like this block a lot, too. Lots of detail to applique.
I hope you have fun while you're away at the end of September.
You have made great progress there - and the top looks stunning. The counterchange has worked really well. Lovely block, how about a bit of couching for the rope? xx
Love your churn dash quilt. It's very pretty. Love the CWB block & it nice that you left the rope off the elephant. Must remember to do that when i get my blocks made.
That's the perfect backing, Fiona! An applique elephant would not like to be on the end of a rope.
My goodness! It’s even getting quilted straight away and not going in the pile! Great work. Well done on completing a Civil War Bride block.
WOW! Well done with your Churn Dash blocks. Looks lovely and I can't see the difference in the fabrics. Great pick up from the Swedish shop for the backing.
Nice applique blocks ..
Such a pretty girly quilt. Lovely back too.
Your Churn Dash flimsy looks wonderful...NiCe job Fiona...xox
Lovely quilt top Fiona and the backing is perfect. Great Civil War bride block and I am too pleased to see the rope left off.
Catching up on posts and I see you have been busy with more beautiful projects. I do love the civil war block, those types are my favorite.

Dear Fiona,
you are doing great with your churn dash blocks, better to say top. You are so far, almost finished. Love the Civil War Bride block too. I will be starting this quilt next year. Have a lot of Civil War fabric left over from DJ BOM top.
