Some time ago I went to a second-hand shop. And there at the entrance, were two big pieces of fabrics stacked next to each other - one bedding set and one curtain set. They seemed like match made in heaven, especially that curtain fabric was actually just nice quality sewing fabric and not heavy cotton. In my imagination I saw two tone blocks, something big and quick, and that it will not take away the eye from the lovely pattern on the fabrics but allow for these to blend together. Churn dash block is one of the staples, very traditional but also one you can expand design on and make it yours. You can obviously make blocks from any two fabrics from your stash and each block can have different set. There is no limit in this design.


Pattern is free (see shop on the website), but if you would like to support my work, you can buy me virtual tea, coffee or a lunch. All links available in the shop.

I have started with one block (easy improv fun) and I finished with full new pattern and quilt for Linus project. But this is what happens when you have some creative juices going 😉. Design is based on magic numbers principle and it makes nice, large, square quilt. I worked with my stash only which means I had to be creative at the time and pieced few scraps to make full blocks from the same fabric. Each part of the design can be easily replaced with scrappier version either crumb or string block. This is fun and easy project for either someone starting or already experienced quilter looking for a quick quilt pattern. Happy sewing!

If you need a quick gift this Christmas and you have some orphan blocks laying around, you can make this scrappy patchwork scarf in no time. You can use up an old fleece blanket or buy a piece in your local store. I used in this project blocks made from shirt fabrics and simple layout but imagine using star blocks or flying geese… You can quilt it as easy or as intricate as you like depending on your skills or time you have to finish. This is very versatile and great project for both beginner and advanced person alike. Happy sewing!
