Going to our cottage has been great for working on the sashings on my Churn Dash quilt. Get chores done and out of the way and sit on the porch, applique and watch the hummingbirds fight at the feeder.
Our summer, so far, has seen a few hot and then cool days. No heat wave for any length of time this year. Unusual? Yes. This could change and we will see.
This is where I'm at with this challenge. Great progress has been made. At this point, only two more diagonal rows (diagonally in the center) need to have six more sashings appliqued and then the top can be finished. The two sections on the top left and bottom right have been sewn together, so, I'm way ahead of myself now. I can hardly wait to have this finished as there is another churn dash project waiting in the wings .... perhaps two ....

Well done on your churn dash! Your summer garden is so pretty, even if it doesn't last very long.
The applique makes the churn dash blocks so happy! It just moves this quilt above ordinary to spectacular! What a great idea to have small churn dash blocks as your cornerstones. I'll keep this in mind when it's time to sew my 9" churn dash blocks together. Thanks for all the inspiration! I enjoy looking at the lovely quilts in your header. The striped fabric in the tumbler quilt just adds so much interest to that quilt. Happy stitching!
Oh wow it's looking great Rose Marie..... Send this year I have realise from several blog posts that deer like hostas....... Goodluck
Your applique sashing is really quite clever. It makes your eye move over the whole quilt. It's a great design element.
Your churn dash quilt is looking stunning already.
Sounds wonderful, sitting on the porch, enjoying some applique watching the hummingbirds. Your garden is still looking lovely and green.
beautiful churn dash....and lovely garden
Your churn dash quilt top is looking wonderful, the sashing strips are amazing, they give such a different look to the top. Love it!
