The Churn Dash Swap




If you're visiting from Barb Vedder's blog, Fun With Barb, welcome! Here's the link to our Churn Dash collaboration. We had so much fun swapping blocks and creating "sister" quilts. Enjoy!

Fun with Barb and...


Have you seen Barb Vedder's new blog yet? Fun with Barb and Mary follows the exploits of two quilters who maintain their long-distance friendship after one of them moves from the East Coast to the Midwest.

Wait a minute... why does that sound familiar? Barb and I are longtime quilt friends too and have had plenty of fun together. When her move from Chicago to the East Coast made us long-distance friends, believe me, the fun didn't stop!

Diane and Barb, 2002

Before she moved, Barb and I collaborated on a Churn Dash block swap based on this pattern from the Jan/Feb 2002 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine. We used Civil Was reproduction fabrics and shirting prints, making enough blocks for two large quilts with no two blocks alike.


The blocks finish at 5" and my quilt measures 64" x 85". It was machine quilted by Robyn Saunders of Batavia, Illinois.
