One of my favourite traditional blocks is Churn Dash, so with the fabric left over from the Turning Twenty what better then a small Churn Dash quilt.
I had several pieces of Fairy Frost in shades of cream which I felt showed the block up nice just enough for a small quilt.
Of we went Fudge and I stitch stich sew sew.. trim this join the rows together and whoop dee doo all done..add a border or two and its ready for quilting….well…..there was something about it that was not right…the pattern did not do for me what I wanted it to ….
so i unpicked the rows and sashed them with a narrow brown sashing…much better…I am about half way thru the quilting…very traditional quilting outlining the cream pieces to make the Churn Dash stand out.
On two corners I have reversed the border and used the floral fabric I will embellish these corners when the quilting is finished.
I'd forgotten how it looked before you took it in hand! great improvement Jan
