My vintage sheet stash is slowly growing. In fact, I made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t buy any more sheets until I made at least one thing. So, in a day or two, I whipped up this churn dash in a churn dash in a churn dash. I was just going to do the inner two blocks for a little wall hanging for my studio, but then I figured why not make something giant. It’s not like I’m going to run out of sheets or anything, even though they are fairly sparse here in Texas.
I didn’t use a pattern because a churn dash is fairly simple. Look at it as a nine patch grid. Start in the center with the smallest block, and work your way out. It was way fun to make, and in the event you’re planning a quick mystery quilt class for your friends, this would be an easy way to go, and everyone would leave with a finished top! Let me know if you give it a whirl.
Love it! You’ve brought back memories of when I first learned to quilt. Churn dash was one of the first blocks I made.
That is super cute, Banielle!!
Typo.
I *do* know your name…
Um, that pink sheet is so pretty. SO pretty! I’ve never seen that one before, but I love it. Shocker
Yay Danielle – is this what you buy on ebay? The sheets and quilt top are beautiful!
Oh. My. GOODNESS!!! I am seriously in love with this quilt—do you mind sharing the sizes of your blocks?
