Churndash

| 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.

What a pretty quilt and I love the striped fabric - really makes the whole thing POP!!
ReplyDeleteI too like the stripped fabric and especially the four corners:)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice to use the stripes to pull it all together! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDouble churn dash - a fabulous block. And I absolutely LOVE that stripe you put into the sashing! It's a beauty. And just think how thrilled the block makers would be to see this.
ReplyDeleteThe striped border looks like a picket fence around the squares. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to pick up someone else's work though. Their way of sewing could be different from yours. Or does that not matter much with sewing as it would with knitting?
Wow the stripe is perfect!! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteYou chose the perfect fabric to join it all together. That stripe is the bees knees!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
