Oh my you are right. Sorry for the duplicate. I thought I had removed that extra one before I posted but clearly I wasn't successful!

I also donate quilts to kids in my County about 40 per year. I provide all the fabric, battings and backings and thread.
It's wonderful that you do this also. Quilters are the BEST people!!! Hugs and smiles!

There may be but I don't know what it would be. I drew this up on graph paper. It's basically square in a square for the 4PP, alternated with a rail fence block. Placement of the different colors on the 4PP blocks is what makes the churn dash appear, as well as which way the rail fences blocks were turned.
I had to experiment some to come up with the right sizes to cut the square in a square blocks and wonderful board members helped me with the math on how wide to cut the rails in the rail fence. I was brain dead the day I was trying to figure that out. LOL All the math had to be based on the size my 4PPs came out as I didn't want to trim them any further. The diagram on the graph paper was not accurate for size since I didn't want to have to draw half and quarter sections of the graph squares. I used the drawing mostly for color placements.
