THE WORD IN PATCHWORK

Oh, that is really fun.

So many things to play with it hardly leaves any time to quilt.

Thanks Kim, they're great.
I will be using a nine-patch elsewhere in the quilt, so I'll have to
pass on that one (pity, it looks so nice); but the alternate light and
dark pattern might well suit just fine.

Thanks for doing this. The first one looks like it could go on forever : )

Thanks for asking for pictures. It'll be a while! I worked out some
colour pairings last night and will try to make a few today.

Like that border-jus the right amount without being 'there' so to speak. It
just holds everything together without taking away from the quilt itself.
You have the 'touch'

I tried to have a look, Estelle; but it wasn't having any this evening.
I'll try again tomorrow morning. Thank you.

Oh, what a clever idea. I thought that might be what it was from
Estelle's words.
Thanks Kim for the picture.

Right, I just got to see it.
It's a fascinating idea, isn't it. I think one would have to be very
careful with the colours to ensure that each pattern showed and wasn't
subservient to the other. Very clever.
Thanks so much for finding it for me.

Patti, it looks as though you have enough advice to keep you churning for a
while.

Bonnie Hunter created "chunky churn dash" where she pairs her churn dash
variation with hourglass blocks. www.quiltville.com (Bonnie absolutely
ROCKS when it comes to creative scrap quilts!)

In 1997/98 ago I made "Hundred-Churn Dash." It has 100 6" churn dash
blocks, each out of a different blue with a common white-on-white
background. I put them together in 4's, then sashed them. (What does it
say about my stash that I still have some of those blue fabrics?)

You can also go to http://community.webshots.com and type "churn dash quilt"
in the search box. Undoubtedly many photos will turn up.

Could anyone please tell me whether Churn Dash block is usually put with
a 'natural' partner block? Or is it used by itself - perhaps with
alternating colours? Or what? ... I am woefully lacking in knowledge of
traditional blocks' usage.
I'd be grateful for whatever info. You have. Thanks.
