I'm still not sure about this sashing. I wanted something to bring some life to the top. I tried a much brighter orange Moda Marble but it was too bright - took all the attention away from the blocks. I like this sashing, but now the whole quilt looks just a bit dull. Now that I see this much finished I wish I'd used a whiter background fabric for the pseudo-churn dashes. Oh well - I'm not ripping. This is a charity quilt, and I'm sure someone will love it. Now to finish 16 more blocks and then get it all together into a top.We were supposed to head to Newberg tomorrow to celebrate Chelsea's birthday, but Sophie has started running a fever. Sure hope it's not the same stuff that brought Joseph's other grandma down for the last two and a half weeks! So I guess I have the entire weekend to sew after all. Hopefully I can finish this top, make a back for it, and get at least three or four quilts quilted. A tall order - I will actually be happy if I can get half of that done!

I love your blocks and think this is a great looking quilt. If I would finishing it I might make a binding of the sashing fabric to pull it all together.
Hey, maybe that trip to Centralia is in order! LOL
Patti, love the blocks. What a great way to make a scrap quilt, I feel myself starting one right now !
I like it just the way it is!
Hope you enjoy your weekend.
I think the sashing you have is perfect!
I like it, too.
Churn Dash is my favorite block, and this is a favorite variation.
Oh I love it! I love that block! And man, your next post is making my mouth water! Dang now I'm hungry!
Sounds like the perfect weekend!
"get at least three or four quilts quilted" - Patti you just amaze me :)
I would sash it with the background fabric so that the churn dashes would float.
This is such a clever way to unite scrap squares!
I think it looks great. I think a patterned border to tie all the colors together would be appropriate.
