Zozee, you are a genius. I've been dying to make a churn dash for years but never had the chance. This would indeed look "rustic"/traditional/homey. It's perfect!

Not sure if you are familiar with the Disappearing 9 Patch - but they come together pretty quickly with Charm packs (5” squares). My friend and i are putting together 2 for donation to our guild’s charity quilt program. We are using a 4 x 5 block setting with no borders. So for one quilt you would need a total of 20 blocks.
The Missouri Star Quilt Company has some great tutorials and you will find the Disappearing Nine Patch there!
Your friend is truly blessed to have a friend such as you... praying all goes well for her and that she feels the big hug that quilt brings!

Churn dash is truly one of the simplest, homiest blocks out there. Glad you now have the perfect opportunity to make a churn dash quilt for your enjoyment as well as to share with someone you love.

You probably have already thought about backing, but if not, I strongly suggest using flannel. Chemo rooms are so cold. I made a quilt for my friend when she was going through breast cancer. She loved the warm flannel and the fact that I made it big enough to cover her from chin, to tuck down under her feet, and to tuck into the sides of the chair without fighting for coverage. (I used a Warm Wishes pattern because I, too, was going for quick when she was diagnosed.) She treasures that quilt to this day.
