Churn Dash

Just finished all my churn dash blocks.  These blocks started as 6 inch blocks that were cut into quarters and paired with a solid color.  

I used the tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.  She used a 10 inch block to start so my scale is smaller.  The directions are very clear and easy to follow.  

More blocks .... 

More blocks ... 

And more blocks ... 

Here is the lot of them finished!

Now I just have to decide how I am going to pair the 7 inch churn dash blocks and the 6 inch original blocks.  

For the backing I decided to use Geekly Chic's yellow glasses.  I used squares of the cream with glasses on the front.  I love the idea of the bold yellow paired with all the colors in the fabric.

Decisions, decisions.

Sew long for now,

Churn Dash

This summer my Grandmother gave me three 6 inch charm packs.  They are not my typical color pallet and they are not the standard size.  So I was unsure what they would become at the time.  Although I have to admit, it was love a first sight.  All those bold colors play nice together.  ** If anyone knows what this line is can you help me out?  I have no idea!

I cut down the blocks into 3 inch squares, these are going to become the churn dash blocks. The finished block is 7 inches square so that will lead to some design challenges ... 

Each of the prints is getting matched with a solid for the churn dash block.

Now that I have a plan its time to start churning out those block!  To the sewing machine I go.  

Sew long for now,
