Church Dash!

 I got the binding on my churn dash, which I have renamed Church Dash because of my poor typing skills! My friend Sally B quilted it for me. I love the fans!!
 I like that not every block looks like a churn dash although they are assembled the same way.
I'm back to hand quilting my DJ quilt in the evenings. I'll use my Hera marker to mark the plain triangles. I didn't have it last year (which was the last time I had it out!) I am hoping to keep quilting on this until I get one whole side finished, then I'll rotate back to Beyond The Cherry Tree blocks.

Quilter Kathy said...

Love your church dash :) It is very cool with this block that they each look so different.
Love the hand quilting photo...do you like the hera marker? I have been thinking about buying one.

Darlene said...

Love your Churn ahem Church Dash quilt - fabulous blocks. (I almost named it Church Cash - LOL)

It'll be so much fun to watch your handquilting progress on your Dear Jane quilt - I hope you'll share often, Lori.

Elizabeth Ann said...

I love love love your Church Dash! That is one of my favorite blocks!!! Can you show a whole picture of the Dear Jane quilt, what a great accomplishment!

Sue said...

I love your churn/church dash. Either name, it's just beautiful! I was just telling my husband this past weekend on our road trip how much I love that pattern.

I love the quilting on the quilt too. Wonderful!

Be blessed :)

Kristie said...

Wow! Such a lovely quilt. I do like how the same block looks totally different when you change the color placement. The churn dash is one of my favorite blocks.

Lovely church dash, Funny how you don't see your errors until after you have posted.
I like the use of baptist fan for an overall design on a machine quilted quilt.
Have meant to say for a while. I love the quilt in your header is it one of yours?

Karen said...

You do such beautiful work! I bought a hera but haven't used it yet. Please post about how you like it. The church dash is wonderful :)!

Brandie said...

Fabulous! What a beautiful quilt and so scrappy. I love it!

Donna in SW PA said...

Congrats !! Look so nice and another finished piece!!!Yeah!

Your church dash is wonderful! How big is it? You are very dedicated to keep going on your Dear Jane quilt. I love those quilts, but kind of doubt if I will ever make one. It would have to be hand quilted and with all those seams, I think it would be quite a chore. Is it hard to hand quilt it?

AnnieO said...

Love the Church Dash! Churn Dash is one of my fave old-fashioned blocks. The fans are just perfect for that quilt.

Wow, for a new grandma you're getting a lot of quilting done :)

Beautiful!!! Love the quilting and you know... that block is forever named now. I like the xcrappy block look, too. :)

Mary said...

Churn Dash was one of the very first quilts I made and the block has always been one of my all-time favorites. I think Baptist Fan quilting is about the most appropriate you could have for a Church Dash quilt!

Linda said...

Love the "Church" dash!! The re-name is the best! :-) The fans are the perfect quilting.

WoolenSails said...

The quilt came out beautifully and love the quilting on it.

Love the church dash! The name and the quilt... The fans are perfect for the quilt. Great job!
Can't wait to see your DJ finished. You can do it.

Cardygirl said...

Beautiful dash, whatever the name!

Sharon said...

What perfect quilting for this top, it's fabulous. Your scrappy fabrics look delightful. Oh all those seams in the DJ, good for you for keeping at it, what a treasure it will be.

ranette said...

The churn dash block is a favorite of mine and I like your quilt, a lot!
The quilting looks great too. Keep going with your DJ and you'll get there eventually.

Celia said...

The churn dash is stunning. I once started a DJ quilt but after 15 or so blocks I realised that I would never complete it, so I am using those blocks on other quilts. Well done!

Sharon said...

One of my favorite blocks, and your quilt turned out beautiful! Love the new name!

SueB said...

That quilt is just beautiful. Love it if it is called Church or Churn Dash. Love the fan quilting that Sally B did also.

Kathie said...

The quilt looks great! And I wanted to thank you for the Dresden Blocks as well, I would have sooner, but I had to fly out of town for a funeral...I really appreciate them a lot!

Carol said...

Love, Love, Love your Church Dash!

Quilt Hollow said...

Church Dash is a keeper!

Barbara J said...

Your Church Dash quilt is gorgeous. I think I am attracted mostly to it's stunning simplicity.

The section of the DJ quilt is looking so lovely.

Cheryl said...

Love the churn dash!!

Lisa said...

The Churn Dash looks great! Where are you using it? I only have about 6 blocks of my Dear Jane done. :) What I can see of yours looks wonderful, and I'm sure the rest is the same.

Maureen said...

I love everything about your church dash quilt. Just charming!

Nyla said...

Love your churn dash and love the fan quilting! I like the way you're rotating your projects, it seems to be working well for you and nothing is being left out. Your Dear Jane will be a beauty, absolutely worth hand quilting!

Wendy said...

The Churn Dash quilt is stunning, love the plain alternate blocks. I've always loved the baptist fan quilting.

Jan said...

Oh, your churn dash is wonderful! It's right up my alley - love that block, and the fan quilting is the perfect choice.

Janet said...

What a fantastic looking Churn Dash. I like that, Baptist fans, church quilt, lol. Good going on the DJ, can't wait to se that one all done.

Barb said...

what a wonderful quilt! I love the fan quilting, it's perfect. I also like the different scrappy looks of the blocks - great quilt!!

Heirlooms by Ashton House said...

You did a wonderful job with the "Church Dash" quilt. The fan quilting was a great pick for the quilting. It looks like you're making great progress on your quilting projects so far this year. I need to get in gear with mine.

Nicole said...

Churn/Church Dash looks like an antique quilt! I love the selection of fabrics you used.

Melle Pimpin said...

Quelle merveille ! Bravo !

Ann said...

This is really lovely. It's amazing how the Churn Dash looks like a mystical sumbol when set on point. Church Dash is a good name for it! ;)

Rose Marie said...

Wow ... love your churn dash quilt!!

MARCIE said...

The humble churn dash, definitely a winner! Love the Baptist Fan quilting!

Dixie said...

Your Church Dash quilt is great - love how you captured the old fashioned look and didn't include borders. Its just perfect!

Your DJ is going to be awesome!

Janet said...

Your Church Dash quilt turned out just wonderful. It captures the look of an antique quilt so well. I think the fan quilting is perfect for this one.
Handquilting progresses slowly but is fun and so worth it in the end :0)

Lori said...

the churn dash looks very old!! (now, that means old and snuggly and perfect--not old, worn out and shabby!) Baptist fans were a wonderful choice.

Quilts And Pieces said...

Oh I love your Church Dash! And I really love that fan quilting. Does she use the circle lord tool? I haven't been able to find anyone who will do it to look like that. They all are using short cut like fans that are just not quite right. I miss my fans Bonnie used to do before she got so busy!
