Remember my April *Just one Thing* Churn dash? You don't ? Heck fire - I thought you remembered everything about me haha!! Just kidding - I can't remember what I am doing half the time.
But this quilt is needed now - so I have it all quilted up and Bound and washed and I LOVE it.
You might notice my panels are in a different place? We made a *fenced in * yard off of my back patio for my dog. We are testing it to see if we like where we think we want the fence to be ( makes sense right? )
There was no rhyme or reason to the Churns - I just used 5 - 5 inch squares from my scrap bag to see what I could come up with - and I really like how colorful it is. Funny thing - as I was making it I started to think of a particular family, and each time I worked on it I thought of them (I prayed over them)
So now it is all washed and will be going to them. Turns out - they are going thru a little struggle in life and I thought this might cheer them up. Cross your fingers.
A close up of the quilting - Kinda Funky!!
I like how it seems certain quilts sort of tell you where they need to go.
And now!!
Whats been happening this week?
Get anything Finished? Moved ahead?
Show us your progress!!!
PS Thanks for all the great advice on what a Kind size quilt should be - I have some measuring and then Designing to do!!

Shes says - Quit working and come play with me.....
The quilting is perfect for this churn dash quilt! The family will love the quilt! They'll feel the love. Happy stitching! Be careful, sometimes those temporary fence panels kind of turn into permanent fencing.
ReplyDeleteYour churn dash quilt is lovely and cheerful. Your gift will at least say I'm thinking of you. Love the puppy photo.
ReplyDeleteI think I am inspired to use neutrals on colored backgrounds - the reverse of what I usually do - because, gosh, I just love how your Churn Dash turned out.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out beautifully! I love a churn dash any way but this one with the light for the shape and not the background is a fun twist on the ordinary!
ReplyDeleteLove the churnies - I am seeing a secondary pattern too! The fabrics just make it so cozy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little face - how can you resist?! That's a beautiful quilt, too, though! Are your blocks 12 inches finished? It's interesting how sometimes you know just who a quilt needs to go to - I've had that happen, too.
ReplyDeleteThe Churn Dash quilt is wonderful - so cheerful and just looks soft and cuddly. I'm sure it will be appreciated. Now - go play with that sweet dog!
ReplyDeletelove your churn dash!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool way God works! I love it's scrappy feel! I am a visual person so I understand the need to try out the fence!!
ReplyDeletelittle face... hard to resist the call to play!

Churn Dash quilts are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWell, it sounds like this quilt knew its home from the beginning. I hope the love you poured into it for them is a blessing and help.
ReplyDeleteWhat a face and those boring eyes! What times the two of you must have!!! Your churn dash is terrific. Yes, some quilts are like that. . .their destination is known somewhere during the process. I like to think the quilts that speak early on so I can think about the recipient during the process always go with extra love.
ReplyDeleteI do love a churn dash quilt! And what better way to gift than to be told by the quilt who it's going to! Love the funky quilting, too!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your finished quilt, love the quilting design too. I need to try this one on my DSM. It's funny how sometimes we get vibes to think of someone and then we find out why they were in our thoughts. Hope this family is seeing the rainbow through the rain. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and beautiful quilt! You never can go wrong with a Churn Dash!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful quilt is a gift of love and care for your friends, and is so kind of you! Have a wonderful week, and thank you for Finished or Not Finished Friday!
ReplyDeleteLove your churn dash - congrats on another finish. That quilting panto is interesting as it grids it, but maybe it is not so hard to match up as a grid. Love it and I love the pup pic, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt. I'm sure they'll appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteWe hit a high around 90 today. A good day to stay in and sew!
