I can finally start to reveal some of my secret sewing this year,
and this was the biggest one!
We made a mystery quilt~ I designed it in my EQ program and gave the ladies a little block assignment each month. Some months it was 2 blocks, some 4 (but easy ones)
By the third month they all knew it would be a Churn Dash quilt, but they couldn't figure out how all the different size blocks would fit together. :-)
It was soooo much fun!!!
I made 2 quilts. The one above was all scrappy blocks and backgrounds. I still need to add my outside border and it will tie all the colors together. Right now, Christmas sewing is keeping me from it. ;-)
I also made a Christmas version~
In this one I made all my Churn Dash blocks from various greens, and used the same background for all the blocks. I have a border fabric that is Grinch fabric for it.
Both quilts will finish at 84" square. :-)
I can't wait to get them quilted next year!
Right now I am knee deep in Christmas makes and bakes and loving every minute!
I hope you are having a fun December too!
Until next time~
happy stitchin'!!

Love those quilts. Great design!
Oh Sandie- These are so pretty! I love all the different sizes of churn dashes. The colors are great too. So glad you revealed your secret! K-lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com
Beautiful design!
Both quilts are so beautiful, Sandie. The Churn Dash block is one of my favorite. It is so much fun to see the same design but in 2 different colorways. Merry Christmas.
