Just before we left for vacation in July, I started these giant churn dash blocks. Here are the goals I accomplished with this one: I wanted (1) to do a churn dash quilt; (2) a quick, easy project; and (3) a large block to showcase some pretty prints (Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camille).
Each block measures 24 inches -- awesome! When you put three together, that's automatically a 72-inch quilt. The best part? You only need 9 fat quarters of various prints, and there is very little waste of those fat quarters with the cutting lay-out.
I thought it would be fun to share how easily these blocks came together. I put together some initial notes -- I will post the actual sewing tomorrow, but I thought I'd start with the supply list and cutting instructions for the fat quarters.
SUPPLY LIST:

9 fat quarters of coordinating prints - blocks
3 yards solid - blocks

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS:

| Fat Quarter (20" x 18") - cut carefully, as you can see there's very little wasted fabric! |

very cool! I'm sure I've got a few FQ in my stash I could use for one of these!
Thank you for this :) I'm actually on my second one now! I've always wanted to make a churndash quilt but I didn't want to make so many blocks - I LOVE the large size of these blocks...THANKS!
