guild blocks
I would have made more, but, I ran out of both light blues-so I stopped at four blocks- this block is called the churn dash- simple, with lots of potential. The guidelines were cream and blues..with the cream as the background. I think I wandered into the more coffee than cream on two of them..but I like the contrast! More stash used up too. This gives me 4 chances to win blocks...I have not played in ages-but I could not resist this block. So, I am hoping I win! Next up: cutting and putting together the binding for the quilt that comes home with me tomorrow night. I like turning one in and picking one up..keeps those quilts moving towards that finish line. I finally caved in and ordered a quilting book for myself. I decided it was unlikely that either one of my sons would actually look at my amazon wish list and buy something on it-so I went ahead and bought Quilting with Style- by Gwen Marston & Joe Cunningham. It is now being carried everywhere with me as I snatch moments to read through it. As a matter of fact, on page 48 is a quilt using these very blocks I just made!

I hope you win the blocks, Cher. A quilt made from creams and blues would be gorgeous! Those blocks present lots of potentials for quilting too!
Lovely blocks -- and I'm going to second that you win the other blocks. Churn dashes are so versatile and those colors are lovely!
I'm glad you got the quilting with style book for yourself - you deserve it. the book is a treasure and so are you!
I bought the same book a couple months ago and have really enjoyed it.
I've got a churn dash in my future too but I think mine's going to be free form pieced - I think Gwen Marston has some in her Liberated Quilting book.
That's one of my most favorite books on quilting a quilt. I think I've had it almost since it was published. I know you'll enjoy it!
