Just an FYI:
This is the Monkey Wrench/Churn Dash block:

I love Snail Trails quilts. One of these days I'm going to make the Shakepeare in the Park quilt by Judy Martin.

One of these days. :roll:

Actually we're both correct. :D I've heard Snail's Trail also commonly called Monkey Wrench in the past. Also, if you search "monkey wrench" in EQ5 you'll get both the Snail's Trail and the Churn Dash. :)

Oooh! A while ago I saw a YouTube video of someone using thread that changed color under a black light. That would be sweet! ...and it'd keep with the NBC theme as Oogie's lair was lit under black lights during his musical number.

That was my first thought until I saw they wanted $15 for a yard of striped Jack fabric. Yee-ouch!
