100 blocks!

It's done....

 

 

Can you see my layout?

Dark centre, light border, dark border, light and then dark again.

It's hard to show the true colours.

This progress shot is the best representation.

I am now digging into the cupboard for backing.

Churn Dash

 I am well on the way with my Churn Dash blocks.

It's hard to believe I have been quilting all these years and never got round to this pattern.

 I am really enjoying all the combinations I am getting out of my scraps:

I have a big plastic container with the scraps sorted into colours or styles or sizes....

But I am getting to the point of delving into the shelves of my stash...

And before I go too far I had to decide on a layout so I could keep count.

I am thinking like this? Can you see the difference?

I'm back

Do you find when you take a break that it is hard to find inspiration?

Thanks to this Instagram post I found some inspiration.

"Churn Dash" has been on my to-do list for a long time.

It has been so long since I have been at my sewing machine that it seemed to have seized up.

I think that also may be due to the cold, a bit of heating helped as well.

So I have donated the first four blocks and just kept going.

It's nice to find motivation isn't it?
