Skinny Churn Dash
What
a fun quilt to sew! The classic churn dash pattern got a makeover
with a taller center section, creating a rectangular block.
I
returned to the remnant boxes to find fabric in green, aqua, coral,
gray and brown. Natural muslin makes a great neutral to focus on the
prints. There are no repeat blocks and all were stitched on Laney (Singer 301).
The 7” x 10” finished rectangles are set together, adding a 3” muslin border for a 49” x 57” final size. I'm calling it Skinny Churn Dash.
Quilting with a medium taupe thread lightly emphasizes the stitching. I used a braided border ruler to quilt vertical rows that look like an allover design.
There's not much change in my overall scrap total using a bit of this and a bit of that, but I still love getting bonus quilts out of leftovers. On to the next one!
