Churn Dash Quilt

A red and white Churn Dash Quilt has been in the works here for a few months.  I have been collecting red fat quarters after seeing a gorgeous Churn Dash in a book.



Which book?  It is Modern One-Block Quilts by Natalie Bonner and Kathleen Whiting.  I love this quilt and the layout of the Churn Dash blocks.

Isn't that a great layout?  I just love the modern twist on one of my favorite blocks.  I did change one thing from the book.  The book has a nine inch block but I  went with a twelve inch block.  I wanted a big quilt, one that will fit on our queen bed with plenty hanging over all the edges.  

My friend and fabulous long arm quilter, has a new pattern called Textures and  when stitched out looks like custom quilting .  Textures is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Isn't the quilting so gorgeous and amazing?

I have a back log of quilts, some from last year.  Now that the girls are all moved out, hubby can't hold up the big quilts by himself.   Thursday for dinner a couple of daughters were home and I told them they had a job.  They knew it was quilts to hold!  Their smiles say it all, right?



Meredith and Erin were good sports and Erin had to stand on a chair to hold this one high enough for photos.

My plan is to have a red and white (or cream/beige) quilt on all my beds for Christmas.  I am so excited to have this one made and I am in love with Natalie and Kathleen's design.

  1. I used to be too impatient to "collect" fabrics for a future quilt but I'm six years into quilting and seeing my growing pile of Kaffe prints for a future quilt is exciting. Great job on the red/white quilt.

  3. I love it. I've got a stack of red and white prints I don't know what to do with. I might just copy your idea. Very pretty.
