The Eagle Churn Dash

My PPP is coming out!!! ( Pile Project Person)  

I had started this Eagles and Churn Dashes quilt, and then when my Dad got injured I think I piled it all.

I recently had a chance to get a few things back out - and!! Imagine my surprise when I realized I NEVER finished this one!!


( this is the photo from February!!! I guess I still thought I could get things done and keep my head in the sand about all that I had to do at that time!!)

But now!!! here we are....


My rows of Churndashes were just a little longer that the Eagle piece - so I added some flying geese... but I am going to call them Flying Eagles... It is like the little eaglets and hanging out on the side

( Yes - you have to have a BIG imagination to get that!!)


And now.... what else do you think was in my piles?????

I think that is why they call it a pile. Nobody knows what is in there. Lovely eagle churndash finish.

What a great resurrection of a buried project!!!! You really set this eagle panel off beautifully!

Oooh -- a mystery, What else was in your piles? It's like an archeologic dig. (I used to say that about my desk when I worked full time.) I have a few piles (ahem) that might need going through too. But later....

The flying geese were a great addition to get the eagle panel wide enough. Have fun quilting this one when it's time!

Looks good - and it's always satisfying to finish up a UFO.

Robin said...

Good for you. . . a project completed. There is such movement in this quilt.

We all have those piles! This was a great find, and I love how you made all the blocks and the panel work together.
