But seriously...here's the block:
The churn dash block is a long time favorite of mine but depending on how you place your colors you can make the block look quite different. In looking back at last weeks photo I took of the earlier blocks together I decided to change those corner triangles so as not to keep repeating the placement. What is my so called background fabric (the one I use in every block) usually appears on the corners so I sought to reverse that placement. Thus the medium green essentially becomes the background this week. And now I don't really see this as being a churn dash block.
And finally, I am back to using the map to stage my blocks. I became a bride in England so I have added in that page from the atlas. For New Zealand I pinpoint Martinborough where my mother became a bride and the Otago region where my grandmother became a bride. And I have placed my bridal rings along with my mother's ruby wedding ring on my block.
Alas, it was another case of having to go in the closet for the photos this week.

Your ring and the fabric motif certainly do look like cousins if not siblings. Loved the map photo with the family heirlooms gathered together!
Oh yes, and the block of course is perfect.
I think the block looks like a knot with the pale fabric being the bridal gown, is that a bit fanciful. The centre fabric is really proving useful and is perfect for that block.
I quite like what you've done. The idea of the ring setting in the middle is brilliant (no pun intended)!
I've been thinking I need to make my constant fabric more of a "player" in some blocks and may use it as you have done yours. And, yes, of course this is immaculately pieced. I aspire to be as meticulous as you are.
