Sew & Share - DAy Three

Time for Sew and Tell!
Day Three

Quilting is a popular way to pass the time in your sewing space. My friend Clovis Perkins has been putting together pretty blue patches to make a twin size quilt.

Look close and you'll see some of the blocks feature the churn dash pattern. This quilt block is made up of half square triangles, strip pieced squares, and solid squares. While it looks tricky to construct it goes together without having to piece any points.

Clovis tells me she is making this for the "blue room" in her house. She has the desire to enter the finished quilt in her local Lake Couty fair this year. I've already deemed this one a winner! Her fabric selection is really an interesting mix, the piecing looks perfect, and it looks like she's well on her way to getting this off the sewing table and on the bed!

Thanks Clovis! I'm so happy you shared your handiwork with us! 

Tip: The well known and highly respected Missouri Star Quilt Company has a nice seven minute YouTube video show how to put a churn dash block together using 10" layer cake squares. CLICK HERE to watch.

Laugh for the day, while I sometimes watch YouTube videos at 1 & 1/2 or 2X speed, I like to watch Jenny Doan at three-quarter speed :-) I guess her speed and my speed are just a little out of sync!
