Hi everyone, I have been busy spring cleaning our sons room.....so much dust but it is all gone now and time to move on to the next room. The bonus is I have found space in his room to put some non crafting items that I store in my craft area which means more room for my craft.
Today I am sharing with you the Churn Dash Blocks I have been making for our monthly swap over at Craftmad (Check out the gallery here August Swap and September Swap). We started in July and each month we are doing a colour of the rainbow in bright fabric with a black background. August was Red. So out I went shopping and fell in love with the above fabric thinking at the time that it was majority red and a little white but when made up and put to the other blocks it just not fit at all. So back to the shops I went.
I found this lovely red fabric which is more fitting to our quilt blocks we have already swapped.
We are swapping one for each member of the swap and I have been making one to keep for myself.
September is Orange. I made this at the same time as the red Churn Dash Block as I was a little behind after having to buy the second fabric. So cut out all the the pieces but forgot to multiple the orange pieces by four. Duh! I didn't have enough of the orange fabric, so off to the shops I went again.
Of course, the fabric I had originally was nowhere to be found. Had to buy another orange fabric, so two of my blocks are a little my patchy.
All four together.
These are the Churn Dash Blocks I have received from our past swaps. First one was green.....Annette went for blue. :-) Then Red.
Next month we are doing Yellow.
I'm with you I love the red and white fabric.The colours on the other blocks look a bit dull in comparison. Perhaps for your next quilting project you could pick fabrics with white backgrounds.
