Spring churn dash 12.5 block swap
#222
I think I will join in on the swap also. Armylady, I just sent you a pm. One of my most favorite blocks is the Churn Dash. And, spring colors really appeal to me. So, I will see what I can come up with.
I don't have many florals in my stash. Polka dots, and butterflys run amuck. So, tomorrow, I will go see about getting a couple of florals if I can find them. Or, maybe, I will just go online and see what I can find tonight.
By the way, Great blocks and great fabric pulls being shown. Beautiful eye candy!!
Thanks Maxie for running this swap.

I haven't done anything in the centers, probably won't. But I have the companion block already planned for the final top. I got the next set of blocks half sewed last night, so moving forward. I figure this weekend I should get them completed and have pictures to share.
Then I will start sewing my planned companion blocks. And work.. I will be working, busy season starting up now, so the churn sets will be completed by Thanksgiving!
I may want to mail them off early too, if that's okay? In February, if my head wasn't attached each morning, i would never take it with me as I run out the door.. So, I Can wait til Feb to mail them off.. I just worry that I might be late with them, just due to work insanity.

But, anyone wants any help making sure that 1/4 inch allowance is all around the block and that your points will remain for the final piecing, I will be glad to help. It is usually a matter of carrying that 1/4 seam all the way to the end of the piecing, that is, not allowing the needle to slide to the edge when you get to the end of a piece you are sewing. And making sure you are doing a Scant 1/4 seam. And maybe it is in trimming the block, that is, not trimming off the allowance all around the block when sizing it.. It took me a awhile when I first started to understand that the completed Block was Not the completed quilt top and said block still need to have the extra 1/4 of sewing room all around it for the final piecing.
To me it is second nature; when I was new, it certainly wasn't. And I have appreciated all the help I was given.
