Our lovely bee mamma for February was up and at it and raring to go...so she sent out the fabric packs in the last week of January.
The brief, make 12.5" (unfinished) churn dash blocks, using her purple fabric for the actual churn dash bits, and use from stash to complete the blocks. Also do something a bit different with the blocks, something to make her smile... Anything goes, she said... well, if anything goes... I went!
Then, I had thoughts, I had second thoughts, yes, and third thoughts... I was going to twine a vine around the elements of the churn dash... but when I actually came to make the block, something else entirely appeared! How does a block take on a life of it's own and do it's own thing, rather than what you plan? I do not know...
but it does! I looked at what else is going on in the group, and I had doubts... am I taking the 'anything goes' too literally? Well it is done now, and mamma for the month has seen them on Flickr- and she seems to like them! So they shall go in the post next week, but what do I do for the rest of the month?
I shall have to dig out a UFO or something... You are sorry for me? really?

So inspiring! I love this! Never thought of appliquéing onto a quilt block. Feel a bit bad that your hard work on that central churn dash is covered up but then I like that it is there, in secret! :-)
Lovely interpretations - the nicest churn dashes I've seen :)
Lovely blocks!
