Sunny Patches BOM: Sunny Churn Dash Block

Not a chance that Tiggs will be upstaged by a quilt block. He’s making sure you can’t see anything important.

This is the blog post where Tiggsy steals the show as I try to take photos of the next block in our Sunny Patches BOM.

I gave taking these photos my best shot.  But, Tiggs was having none of me spending time on anything else but giving him attention.  There was loud purring, head bumps, rubbing against my leg, and flopping across my quilt blocks.  Tiggs pulled out all of his best tricks to get me to pay attention to him rather than take the pictures I needed for this blog post.  I did the best I could but not one single photo doesn’t include at least a small part of him (or lots of him depending on the photo LOL). =)

You’re probably wondering what the Sunny Patches block is for this month since Tiggs so kindly blocked the block completely in the first photo. =)  We are making a Sunny Churn Dash.

Here you can see (most of) my block made using Sunwashed fabrics.  That little mini churn dash in the center is so cute!  Just like with previous months, you have the option to piece the center or substitute the pieced center with a solid square.  The pattern includes both options.

You will find the Sunny Churn Dash PDF pattern here.

See, he just had to get at least a little bit of himself in every photo. =)

Also, like previous months, we’ve put together a video tutorial over on the YouTube channel that you can find here.

Sometimes, this time of the year, we might be looking for a quicker to piece fall project…maybe something small that we can use to add a little fall flair to our home as the fall months approach.  I mocked up what this block would look like in a small table topper size.  It’s 2 blocks across by 2 blocks down with 1″ sashing, a 1″ inner border, and a 3″ outer border.  It finishes at 33″ square.  I chose Cozy Up fabrics for my digital mock-up but you very well may have the fabrics you’d need already in your sewing room or scrap bin.  If not, any fall themed fabric line would be very cute!

If you are new to the Sunny Patches Block of the month, you will find the fabric requirements here, an introduction post here,  the 1st block here,  2nd block here,  the 3rd block here,  the 4th block here, and the 5th block here.

Tiggs wants to wish you all a very relaxing weekend! =)  At this point in time, I had given up completely on getting any “non-Tiggs” photos and just sat down beside him.  He had his back foot resting on my lap and, as you can see, was a happy boy.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.  Thanks so much for stopping by & happy sewing! Corey
