Dashing through the snow! (I wish)


 Four more churn dash blocks!  I snuck in a couple of nine patches into the middle of two of them.



It is HOT here.  109 by the pickup truck temp gauge yesterday.  Wheww!!!!!!!!!   My plants are trying to survive it, and I have moved them to the shady areas of the backyard.

Cute 9-patches in the middle of the blocks.
It's hot here too but not that hot!

I love churn dash blocks and yours are so cute! What size blocks are you making? I need to make myself another churn dash quilt, one I made several years ago I gave to my nephew and his wife as a wedding gift. It turned out so cute, I need one for myself!

Oh, I like how fun those 9-patch-in-a-churn-dash blocks are. That will make a wonderful quilt to have those included. Are you thinking you will place those blocks in a pattern within the quilt, or will they be random?
That is HOT! We are only in the mid-90s, and I barely tolerate being outside for a few minutes in that heat. I don't know how you handle it!

Love the nine patch centers in the churn dash blocks! Throwing some of those into the mix will really add some sparkle!!

Already left a comment .... but I like this so much that I'm going to steal (pretty please) your idea and use up a bunch of very old blue nine patch blocks that are itching to be used. Hope you don't mind ........

Love your blocks and the little 9 patches are so sweet!
I hope you get a break in the weather soon.

Oh I love the 9 patches. I am about finished with my 20 for the month! I will have to think about adding some more color when I finish to mine - maybe in the sashing. OR I may put them on point! Yours are looking great! Hugs

Fun idea for the centers. Stay cool, somehow 😎

A large tree fell over with a mighty crash, half a block from our home.  We are all grateful that it fell toward the street!  If you can zoo...
