Churn Dash on Point

I decided to try doing a little quilt (yes Kathie, you inspired me to make a little quilt) and was playing around with little 3 inch churn dash blocks.

Why is it that they are so much more interesting when turned on point?

  




I needed a break from the album applique quilts I have been working on.  This was a little kit by Rachel T Pellman called Hole in the Barn Door but the block is a churn dash to me.  It was fun to complete a quilt in a weekend and I have been inspired to get out my book Little Quilts All Through the House by Alice Berg, Mary Ellen Von Holt, and Sylvia Johnson.  There are a lot of quilts in that book that would be really quilt in reproductions fabrics. .                                 

Happy Stitching!
