When I first saw Laura Jane's Churn Dash quilt I knew I had to make this pattern. I love everything about this quilt. The use of black, the text prints, the bright colors, the modern/retro feel to the block design. Perfection!
Then I saw that Chris @frecklemama was posting about a Pezzy Churn Dash quilt on Instagram. She even drew a few sketches with the cutting instructions and posted them to Instagram. Thanks Chris!
Apparently she had seen Amanda Jean's Pezzy Churn Dash
and Amanda Jean had copied Tara's quilt
I cut up my layer cake and chain pieced my half-square triangles and rectangles to make half-squares.
You'll notice that each of the quilts I showed you is a bit different. Everyone threw in one little change up. I decided to make a few squares with background colors to match the Pezzy print.

and I thought, "I have a layer cake of Pezzy prints".
And so it begins.
Imitation.
Flattery.
A new project.
A work in progress.

I started sewing the squares together. I might have created a new block when I got going too fast. OOPS!
So far I have made 16 of the 42 blocks needed. This one will be a baby shower gift. Do you think it's a good gender neutral quilt? There are a lot more colors in the stack and they are all great colors.

Yay! I love the Pezzy fabric too. What a great modern twist on an old classic!
Great job! This design is perfect for a baby shower! Are you going to do a 'reverse' block at all?
The Pezzy colors are perfect for boys and girls. I'm sure it will be great.
Looks fabulous! Love your different solids background colours.
You have definitely made flattery noticed. It is a beautiful quilt.
It's gorgeous Di - go you! I laughed at the chain of flattery :-) Your new block is beautiful - it's like a very classy bow tie - lovely!
Fun prints and pattern!
Perfect - I love making this block xxx
I just love the pezzy prints, and they look so good all together.
I think it would be GREAT for a baby!
Now you have me thinking I should make a scrappy one! yours is so lovely!
I saw Crazy Mom's pezzy quilt and I loved it. I had made a churn dash quilt last year for my step-daughter in traditional fabric. It looks so much different and way cooler in modern fabrics.
Beautiful...such a wonderful pattern! Good for you...your imitation will be stunning!
I love how you used the solid color in the background! :)
I like it a lot and love the idea that you made some background another coler.
Warm regards from Holland,

Love it. I always give baby gifts to suite the Mom....what does a baby know about quilts?
Very cute! It is so funny how things get bounced around online, there is so much to be inspired by!
Looks great Di! I was just scrolling through my reader and was like, hey thats my quilt! It was a weird moment! xxx
Ooooh...you ladies are tempting me with your gorgeous churn dashes! I really need to finish my WIPs before I start anything else though.
Thanks for giving me beautiful quilts to dream about for future crafting!
Very nice work!
I love these quilts and have been thinking about making one myself. How fun! And it is perfect for a gender neutral baby shower gift. All those bright colors.
Super cute! I like the twist you are adding to yours. So fun!!!
It's definitely gender neutral and like the quilts that came before it, it's going to be wonderful.
SO PRETTY! The parade of churn quilts is so lovely, but I have to say yours is my favorite :)
i like your new block
Cool! Think you might be onto something with the new block ;o)
I like your oops block! I do love churn and dash! It was my gramma's go to block!
I really like the Oops block! Definitely something that could work in there.
I so love churn dashes, and this post is fun with all the similar but different quilts. Yours will be lovely.
I really like the 5 blocks so far with the different solid background colors. It adds some punch to it. Looks good Di!
I love this quilt but you already know that :o) Looking forward to seeing it all together. hugs
