Turn what may seem like trash into a quilt you truly will treasure. The design will have you saving the smallest of leftovers to create the scrappy Churn Dash blocks.
I prefer to use prints in a project to keep myself interested and so struggle to limit myself to just using solids. I used blenders for some of the lighter ‘transparent’ colours, which kept me happy!
This quilt started as a challenge – to use some lovely fabric which didn’t seem to lend itself to classic piecing. I’d seen a pattern in Popular Patchwork where single bars of fabric ‘merged’ into the next fabric, so I wanted to develop this idea.
We’ve finally made it all the way to block 12. Congrats to those of you who’ve been spooling around from the very start and welcome to those who have recently joined us! I hope that all of you have been having fun with these blocks.
Ready for something a little different? We’re going to take a break from stripes and show a little spool block love to the other fabric in our stash. I’m feeling a vintage vibe so I chose a charming 30s repro from Quilt Gate as the inspiration for this spool’s color palette.
