Laurie’s Churn Dash Quilt

Hi Friends,

I have a bright and fun quilt to share with you today!!!

Laurie made this cheerful Churn Dash quilt for one of her daughter’s friends who has cancer for the third time. Hopefully this will keep her nice and warm during treatments. This is when I’m reminded my job and our quilting hobby mean a whole lot more.

Here is a snapshot of my Gammill Statler quilting out Patricia Ritter and my Sweet Marmalade design. You’ve probably seen our Marmalade design before, Sweet Marmalade has hearts instead of feathers. I love it!! Both are available at Urban Elementz.

I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 comfort blend batting from Winline Textiles based out of Utah.

These Churn Dash blocks are pretty good size, and it’s such a fun easy pattern. I’m not going to link a pattern, I’ll let you do that and find something that works for you. This is such a great classic block.

A couple different snapshots of that quilty texture. Love it!!

Laurie added some beautiful pops of color in the two borders.

Look at that minky…this is why I love solid minky 100% of the time. The quilting creates the best texture!

These colors make me hopeful spring is coming soon, even though we got more snow last night and will throughout today. Utah has gotten tons on snow the last couple of months.

A minky quilty swirl!! Yes, please!

If you’re interested in having me quilt edge to edge for you, check out my online calendar. I have lots of openings. I’d love to quilt for you!! Leisha
