Churn Dash

Hello June!

A long time ago - maybe 2 years (?), I wanted to make a quilt with various sizes of the Churn Dash block. It's a classic, traditional Quilt block.

I love a good Churn Dash block!

I also love a good scrappy fabric quilt.

Sew - the best way to combine these 2 loves …

SWAP!

My Just-Sew Bee mates joined me and we swapped lot of blocks, in 3 different sizes.

It took awhile but I finally received all my swaps.

Then 

of course

the blocks needed to sit and ferment for months.

FINALLY

I have put the blocks up on the design wall and have started making a plan.

In fact, I have actually started sewing the blocks together,

while adjusting my plan.

Stay tuned for the continuing adventure of

The Churn Dash Quilt.

In the meantime ...

I have continued to stay current (up through yesterday) on the

365 Challenge.

I even started stitching the center of the quilt together.

It's looking great!

And ...

of course, there's knitting.

There's always knitting.

This is a short sleeved (summer?) sweater that just might be finished before summer is over.

That's not until September but really I hope to get it done before mid-July.

Today 

I have NO outside commitments.

I am not babysitting the perfect Grandie.

I'm sewing on my Churn Dash quilt.

and

making today's 365 Challenge block.
