Not sure if this is called churn dash or what :) A friend is havin a baby girl and I'm trying to get this one finished by May 8th. Her favorite color is purple so I think these blocks alternating will be perfect.

Happy Quilting Everyone! If you have any ideas about boarders or how to put it together I am all ears. Thanks for your input I'll check back in a couple days :)

here they are

that's not the Churn Dash, but it's a beautiful block. :)
I do know the name of the block, but I forgot. :)

lol I can't think of it either :) glad I'm not the only one.

Cute block, I don't know the name either!
I liked the Easter pun, about being ALL EARS!! :thumbup:

Jennifer22206 04-25-2011 11:20 AM

I want to say it's name is something like Wedding Ring, but darn, I can't remember!

Anyway - I do love it.

It's reminding me to either a Wheel Block or a Wreath Block. I love the colors and really want to see it when it's done!

I have a book that has this block listed as Wedding Ring..so you were right. =)

I think a Piano Key border would set it off nice. Be a nice visual.

I don't know the name either but i love it. The colors are great. This quilt is gonna be beautiful.

Oooo this is going to be awesome :D:D:D

kateyb 04-25-2011 03:17 PM

I think it is called a Snowball Variation or perhaps the Rolling Stone. Pretty fabrics.

RedGarnet222 04-25-2011 03:19 PM

Monkey wrench?? I love that you made it for moms favorite colors. Good thinking.

babyfireo4 04-26-2011 06:31 AM

Thanks all! I promise I will post it when it's finished!
RkayD I think a piano boarder would look good to! I'll try it since I've never done one before :)

bdship 04-26-2011 08:19 AM

It's going to be very pretty, nice colors too !

Afton 04-26-2011 09:03 AM

This is awesome! You have just given me some much needed inspiration for a quilt I'm making for my mom! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

Afton 04-26-2011 09:07 AM

Also, what size are your pieces and blocks if you don't mind? I'm going to copy you with some light and dark varied floral fabrics for my mom :)

mrstgo 04-26-2011 09:12 AM

They look to be 2.5" to me ..

mzmama 04-26-2011 11:35 AM

Quilterscache calls it a Snowchurn.

JenBlossom 04-26-2011 11:37 AM

Pretty! Like the modern mixed with traditional look. I've seen it called a Shoo Fly block as well.

cherrio 04-26-2011 11:59 AM

making this in "manly" lol fabric for my SON in law. love your fab choices!!

Kara 04-26-2011 12:04 PM

In the center, I'd almost like to see it without any sashing before really deciding. Especially since the blocks are direct opposites of each other. I think it would look great without sashing.

Borders.... wellllll..... Unfortunately, I tend to be a bit further along before I'm totally decided on those.... It all depends on the middle, and what else the quilt may need to make it look great. I audition a bunch of idea until I finally settle on something.

Jammin' Jane 04-26-2011 12:15 PM

That fabric is gorgeous!
Looking for to seeing the finished quilt!

EasyPeezy 04-26-2011 08:40 PM

Nice block. It's called Shoo Fly.

babyfireo4 04-30-2011 01:36 PM

The blocks will be 6" finished. I'll post the blocks set together on here soon. It looked really busy when I set them out, so I make a different one for the baby shower and am trying to decide how to make this one look good :) I might just end up keeping it lol
