Quarter of Nine #8

What If You Made

 

A Churn Dash

 

Block... 

...Then Cut It Into

Four Quarters?

You would have 4 small units to play with. I prefer to call them Quarter of Nine blocks since the original Churn Dash block was made by sewing 9 squares together and each of the new blocks is a quarter of those 9 squares.

There are any number of ways you could sew the Quarter of Nine blocks back together to make larger blocks.

Have You Sewn

An Interesting Border Lately?

You want your quilts to look their best. Right? So why would you dress them in drab uninteresting borders?

The right border can make a world of difference to a quilt. To prove this to you, I've taken some designs from my last 2 posts and added borders to them that are anything but plain.
