Absolutely gorgeous.

great job. I did this pattern in 2007 for my grandson in Iraq and had it ready in 2008 when he was discharged. I remembered this pattern from my early childhood ( I started quilting at 11 yrs). I used the same measurements, the center block was made from outdoor scenes: deer, fishing, hiking, (he is a marathon runner), and patriotic scenes. He really loved the quilt, and has it with him at college. I quilted in the ditch, using a beige backing and brown variegated thread. the quilted pattern shows on the back. I was not on face book so I do not have a picture to show. happy quilting to all.

Thanks, Tippy. I'm not afraid of Churn Dash any more! Been wanting to make one. Do you have the tut in a format that can be printed out easily? I'd love to add it to my hints/tips binder.
|
At this point I don't .. but I'm discussing with more "techie" friends the possibility of making a booklet with some tutorials in them.. a pdf format is also a possibility.. I'll keep it in mind and let you know.. I'll talk to my sis.. she's a whiz at that stuff and let you know.

Great tut and love your fabric choice.
|
That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long while! Thanks so much for the tutorial.
|
Wow Tippy, that was an incredible tut, thank-you so much, I absolutley love all your fabrics and all the colours you've chosen are beautiful, I look faroward to seeing your finished project and more tutorials from you as well. Thanks for the great information!
|
Love the tute, love the looks of the blocks. Very Nice.
|
What a neat idea. I have some of that fabric and the panel. Now I want to dig it out and start a quilt.
|
Super tute. Now I have to do that with Snowmen
|
That is going to be one beautiful quilt. I want to try a Churn Dash using the same design in a fabric but in different colors. I have about 10 colors so far.
|
I bought this same fabric and the panel at Walmart a couple of years ago and haven't used it yet. I love what you have done with it! Very nice.
|
I am doing the same pattern but I am doing the center block the same as the hst. So it is all one color on a solid light blue background. J J
|
I really like the look of those. I never thought to work with a churn dash that way.
|
I have printed out these instructions and plan on using them soon. You did an excellent job. Thanks. - Cynthia

Tippy, what a great tute! I just took a class this past Sat for a miniature churn dash. The instructor used a lot of Sally Collins techniques, especially double startching any fabric that's going to be cut out on the bias. I was impressed; my block (finished at 3") came out perfect with 1/4" seam allowance. Your tutorial will make a great addition for techniques in my 'tool stash'. Thanks so much.

Great tutorial....I always wonder what the name "churndash" means.
|
thanks for sharing. Like it.
|
Thanks for the tute. That is beautiful.
|
Thank you! Your blocks are very pretty. Love the birds!
|
Awww. So sorry to hear of you mother. Is there a chance she would still like a quilt like that, yet just wouldn't express it? I understand, though. My Dad has had 2 strokes and is not like he used to be.
|
Sorry.. but my mom is fine.. I think you're confusing my post with Connie's.. her mom is the bird fan.. <smile> but nice of you to be concerned.
|
I can't wait to see it all together. You have a talent for color! :thumbup:
|
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Your blocks are awesome. I look forward to seeing your quilt. That is beautiful focus fabric and panel.
|
Tippy, thanks for the clear tutorial. It seemed as though I was in a Quilting class!!. Lovely fabric too!!. Wish such delightful fabrics were available here where I live(India). :lol: :lol:

Wish I could take all of the creative credit.. but I must admit that one of the Drs I work with is a quilter who works at the hospital weekends. A couple of weeks ago she came in to work.. saw me and said "I have something for you".. ran out and came in with a bag of quilt blocks.. (it was so funny as we work in the operating room). Don't worry it was a lull in the activity.. everyone looked stunned..lol.. she said I'll pay you XX dollars if you can get these done for me this weekend. Well.. of course I did it.. and the blocks were similar to these..I loved the birds so much I wanted to find something similar to do and when I went to Wal Mart the next day... ta da!!! There was the same fabric.. which I snatched up.. but thanks for thinking I'm that smart. Honestly you can dress up MANY blocks with a bit of fussy cutting. And this fabric is great as the way the birds are printed there is almost NO waste!! very unusual with fussy cutting.

Thank-you I am on my way to Wal-Mart.
