| Churndash 66 x 78 inches Quilt of Valor #193 |
I received a package recently from Jo K. in Iowa and inside were two orphaned projects she received from another quilter (Kim). People send a lot of unwanted projects (finished and unfinished), fabric, and patterns to Jo to distribute to quilters or groups who will finish them or use them.
Churndash was made from thirty, double churndash blocks. I squared all the blocks to one consistent size, added sashing and borders. This is the first time I've ever used striped fabric for sashing, and I like how it looks.
I found address labels on the back of a couple of the blocks, so I am fairly certain the blocks were made by several people for a block swap.
Jo, thank you for sending the orphan blocks and for making this QOV possible.
