All Churned Up!

This post won't be long. Things are all askew here at the ranch...so I'll be brief.

This week we are going to make the second block for this quilt. This is what you will need:

Cut 13 each 4-1/2"x4-1/2" squares from your background fabric. While you have your background out, if you are going to put a #1 Stop Border around the center of our quilt, you can cut 7 each 2-1/2" x width of fabric (WOF) for your Stop Border now. (The quantity of stop border is based on 40" fabric.)

Using your 4-1/2"x4-1/2" half square triangle blocks and your sticks and stones in conjunction with your newly cut background fabric squares to make a churn dash:

Sew the blocks together.

And yes, I love me some seam spinning!

Again the upper right and lower left blocks spin clockwise...

and the upper left and lower right spin COUNTER clockwise.and the upper left and lower right spin COUNTER clockwise.

Now if you are chomping at the bit to get this together, here is the order to sew the center of your quilt together:

Row 1	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash
Row 2	Star	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash	Star
Row 3	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash
Row 4	Star	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash	Star
Row 5	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash	Star	Churn Dash

So what do you have? Any surprises? I'm going to be mean and say, "See you next week!"

Have fun!
