I am not one to get all excited about what is trending in blogland.
But sometimes, as Debbie at A Quilters Table pointed out to me,
"I might trend in spite of myself"
The Nested Churn Dash (NCD) blocks kept catching my eye!
Today I was in my sewing room playing with scraps
and MY "churning" began!
I found these TYPE prints and plus scrap bin pieces.
The first Churn finishes at 4" x 4"
....really?
Second churn finishes at 8" x 8"
made it this far....keep going!
made it this far....keep going!
I'm felt a bit leery of HST and points
but I just took my time...
Third "Churn" finishes at 16" x 16"
Hey my points look pretty good!
Hey my points look pretty good!
Within a couple hours of cutting and sewing
while watching/listening to Robin Williams
in "Good Morning, Vietnam"
the churning stopped at 24" x 24"
I really enjoyed making this block and
feel good that I gave it a "trendy" try!

What is your favorite "traditional" block gone "modern"?

ReplyDeleteI have to say Churn Dash and Shoo Fly are two of my favourite blocks. They lend themselves well to all sorts of fabric choices and styles. Your CD block is fabulous. I love your colours and text print!
