It’s ready! Finally!


So proud to show you how easy it can be to make some liberated churn dashes.

I wanted to make the placemats match but still be different so I used the same fabric in all of the churns to make the *dashes*.


I also kept the background fabric the same – I used one of Pat Sloan’s off white neutrals from The Sweet Life. You’ll notice in this churn that most of its points are still intact – it’s easy to keep the traditional look of these blocks alive while still playing with the construction technique.


I also did just simple quilting in these first two – then I decided to play with that too:)

I haven’t done much modern quilting and it shows in this placemat! I started with one idea and then added a second. It’s not my favorite look, but it’s only on a placemat that will most of the time be covered up with dishes so it’s all good 🙂

This one I’m happier with! I tried curved quilting. Of course I didn’t mark it out but I might next time. I actually bought a course on machine quilting that I need to make some time to watch 😉
