The multi talented Diane from Random thoughts...do or "di" made this "Pezzy Chrun Dash" quilt. How cute is this picnic quilt? I love the random solid blocks in the quilt. I am always to scared to do something like this, but I love seeing it, maybe I will try. Diane loves quilting, gardening, traveling, photography, cooking etc. My kind of gal. Be sure to check out her blog...
I have finished the Pezzy Churn Dash Quilt.
My fourth finish for the year!
I already admitted that I blatantly copied a few other talented ladies here.
This quilt was made with a Layer Cake of Pezzy Prints and White Kona Cotton.
I also added a few coordinating solids
to add to the fun of this quilt.

To say it was easy is an understatement.
To me, this quilt really packs a huge punch for the amount of work that went into it.
Using a walking foot,
I quilted it with straight lines on both sides
of each vertical and horizontal seam
of each square.
I have a baby shower to go to this weekend.
They already have a little girl and don't know if they are having
a boy or a girl this time.
Every family needs a picnic quilt.
So that's what they are getting from me.
Any excuse to give someone I love one of my quilts
gives me great pleasure.

Backed with grey gingham and bound with orange polka dots.
This quilt just makes me happy.
I really enjoyed making this quilt.
I have a Layer Cake of Mama Said Sew.
Maybe there is another Churn Dash Quilt in my future.

This is gorgeous! I'm not usually fond of churn dash blocks but they look great in this print :)

ReplyDeleteLOVE it! I so need to make some churn dash blocks, and I happen to have some layer cakes (including some pezzies).
ReplyDeleteit looks so fun and bright
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt Di!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used a colour background in some of the blocks. Adds a lot of visual interest. And I have always said that some of the most beautiful things are the simplest.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt of Di's; actually I love all Di's quilts!
ReplyDelete@Jo C, you could make this with charm packs instead of a layer cake. Four charm packs equals a layer cake, so if you have four you could make this quilt. All the churn dash pieces can be cut from charm pack squares. :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is awesome! I love, love, love the pezzy prints, they are so fun. Lucky, lucky people to get such a wonderful gift. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS. A really great quilt; I love how you used the solids to make the whole thing go "WOW!"
