Welcome to TGIF Friday!! I hope a lot of you had a chance to finish something this week!!! Or if your like me.... this Month - ha!!
Some of you may be new to my blog - so Hi!! I am Alycia aka Quiltygirl! Many years ago I started my own Maternity Clothing company - and was actually the first one on the internet... ( don't age me tho ok!!)
One day I made a quilt.... it was for my Dad who had worked in New York at the Twin Towers ( 9/11) for rescue and recovery. It has all the patches of all the fire departments of firefighters that he worked with,.... and I was hooked...
Bought a longarm - before really knowing what they could do - made quilts, and eventually sold my clothing business and here I am - a full time quilter - who doesn't remember how to hem pants!!
Nice to meet you!!
This is my finish for this week!
I love a Churn Dash Block!!
The Missouri Star Quilt company had a tutorial that I fell in LOVE with
and since them - have been churning them out of all my leftovers!
I even did a little math Tutorial on getting different sized Churn Dash's using their method of making them - you can find that here: Alycia's Churn Dash tutorial
This is a Quilt of Valor and will be awarded to one of my Motorcycle Combat Veterans.
I think he will like it!!

What a great quilt! I really like it. A great way to handle a panel.
A finish feels really good. I like your churn dash quilt. It's a fun block to make.
Beautiful finish! Thank you so much for hosting TGIFF this week. :-)
Well all this time and I did not know your story Alycia! That is a fabulous QoV! Thank you for hosting TGIFF!
That is beautiful, Alycia! I love the wavy quilting!
So very nice!
Oh, the churn dash and the motorcycle are an unexpected combination -- I like it! I think a motorcycle vet will LOVE it.
Another beauty of a finish! I didn't know that about you thanks for sharing:)
I love Churn Dash blocks too! What a great finish...that panel is amazing!
Awesome! Congrats on the finish!
