Thank you...that is one of the best tutorial :-D :-D :-D

I am betting she still likes birds, just can't tell you!

WOW !!!!!!! If THIS is not an inspiration, then NOTHING IS !!!! Great Tute

Thank you so much :), I knew someone had the answer to that lol :) Margie

Have you ever tried "Picaso 3" for your photos??
It is the greatest photo editor I have ever seen, turns those blue/purples back to purple, just by clicking one
block. You can crop, email from site, burn CD's from site,
make photo albums, just anything. I think it is fantastic and it is free to download just go to www.picaso3.com
I think you will love it too!

Great job.

Soooo Beautiful!!! Wherever did you find that fabric????

I have never really cared for the churn dash pattern until now.

I tried that and all I got was search pages. Hmmm.. I stink at finding things online. LOL

The site is Picasa3.com, Not spelled with an o at the end.

:-D

Tippy, thank you so much for this tutorial. I will definitely be trying this. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
P.S. I've bookmarked the page to find it --- soon! I'm planning on making a baby quilt for a baby boy due the first week of January.
Thanks again

Excellent Tutorial! Thank you!

Love it! I want to make a baby girl quilt with some fussy cut centers. This has really been a huge help! Does anyone have any idea about how much fabric it might take?

Thanks so much for the tutorial, Tippy! The churn dash pattern was a favorite of my mom's. The birds as the center fussy cut are beautiful but the possibilities are endless. I will be looking at large scale prints in a whole new way. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank you for the tutorial Tippy :D:D:D

It depends on the size of the blocks you're making.. which, I suppose depends on the size of the design you fussy cut. I'd find the "fussy" fabric first and see what size block it lends itself to to determine that. Mine was perfect for the 4" center square (finished) so a 12" block (finished) was the perfect size. If your design is only good for a 3" finished square you'd shoot for a 9" block.

Thank you for the tute! I will bookmark.

bookmarking this!! awesome :)

WOW Thank you Tippy! That is a wonderful tutorial. What a neat idea. I am bookmarking it as well.

Very nice. Thanks

I hope you put up a picture of your quilt when finished. I would love to see it.

Got booted but that looks great. Even got the tutorial for us. You are a quilting angel.

Fantastic and great instructions. Got one going now using toile.. and I'm going to set it on point. Love this idea..Thanks...

Next time I'll use something prettier like the birds.

The toile is great! What a good idea! And I love the colors.

Wow ! you make this Churn Dash seam so much easier. this way
Happy sewing ,

I have to echo everyone else's comments and tell you that you did a great tut. Will love to see the finished quilt. That is fabulous fabric and the colors are outstanding. I keep telling myself- no more fabric...but then oops here comes another beautiful one and I think I might have to revise my thinking!

Just wonderful to look at, never thought to make churn dash that way. I just finished Churn dash in plaids, set them on point,looks good but, now I'll do a fussy cut, love yours

I loved that block with the fussy cut in the middle. I bet that quilt done will be awesome. Hope we get pictures

Would love to see your quilt in plaids. Please post a picture!?!?

Very good tutorial. Thank you so much.

I am so excited to see the beginning of your quilt. It is stunning. When are we going to get to see the final version?

tippy nice

You made thi8s sound easy enough that I can do this! Love the birds!

Very pretty, great tute. Thanks for sharing.

I'v never been too fond of the pattern but with the fussy cut center, I love it. It's already on my list of must do's for the future. Your tutorial was excellent and your blocks are gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you!! Nicely done.

I just found this tutorial, as I have been wanting to make a churn dash quilt. I think what I want to fussy cut is a bit bigger than will fit in a 4.5 in square. So my question is, can anyone tell me how to calculate how big I need to cut my corner squares to make the triangle squares? Thanks!

Thank you so much, great job!........Michele

This has become my favorite thing to do with special squares or even not squares! Check out what I did here with these 8x10" panda panel prints that are going to be the corner blocks of a quilt I am making!
