Default 54-40 Churn Dash

Hi Quilters! I’m not sure what the pattern is called, or if there is a name, but those are the two blocks I used. It’s a lot of cutting and sewing HST, 4P and rails, before you can even start the blocks. And then it’s all those seams!!! Where the CD points and the Star points meet is nightmare of thickness, even though I pinked my edges and pressed seams open, to reduce bulk. Glad to be finished. It took me longer than I wanted to spend on it. I started cutting it out Tuesday morning and today is Friday and that’s sewing all day, each day( except for cooking🙄😩 as I have a husband who thinks he still needs to eat-lol) I was hoping to finish it at least by today, because tomorrow Avery is spending the day with me. Second picture is backside showing all those seams!😳 This will go to one of our veterans, on my most recent list of 10. I think I need to make 2 or 3 more, before I’m caught up. Well that’s not exactly true. Emily, another member just asked me to help her make 5. It turns out one of hers is a 103 year old veteran that was at the presentation, for a 98 year old, we just awarded a quilt too. We met him at the assisted living facility where they both live. I guess I’ll stay stitching!-lol

This is wonderful! Looking at it from the 2 different perspectives, you can see so many different things in it. Great job.

I love your quilt and the colours are perfect for it. It's on my bucket list, won't get to it for a while yet. Thank you for sharing.
