Churn Dash

Hopefully everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving meal and was surrounded by great friends and family. We ended up doing a Thanksgiving marathon, with 4 meals total. Whew, I'm stuffed.

These last couple of weeks have been super busy, but I have been able to get some quilts finished. The first quilt finished was my Churn Dash quilt. This quilt has been looming over my WIP list since the spring retreat. The quilt turned out super sweet using both a layer cake, and a charm pack. 



Quilt Stats: 

  • Finished Size: 60 inches x 60 inches 
  • Pattern: Churn Dash
  • Fabric: Fresh Cut by Moda
  • Batting: 80/20 Blend
  • Thread: Connecting Threads - Light Pink
  • Quilting: Stipple 



The backing using up extra charm squares



While visiting my parents for one of our Thanksgiving day feasts, I tried going up to our local arch and taking pictures. It was way to windy up there to get any good shots, but it would have been cool. Here is the only shot I took.

  1. 4 Thanksgiving meals?! Wow, that definitely qualifies as a marathon. The churn dash quilt turned out very nicely and is in a very sweet color scheme. Great quilt pattern to use up a layer cake and charm pack.

  2. Glad you got some sewing time in between all those meals. :) It's always good to get a old WIP off the pile and finished. I can just imagine the beautiful photo shoot that could have taken place had the wind cooperated.

  4. I bought that line as well but haven't been able to make up my mind on what to do with it. I love the churn dash you did, and I may have to steal your idea. Great job.
