For my current project, I’m participating in the Churn Dash Quilt-Along, hosted by Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter. This has been a fun project – the blocks come together easily and Amy has some time saving tips on cutting and sewing. Of course I’m behind, but it’s okay because the instructions will stay posted so I can still participate.
I probably should’ve paid closer attention to what I was doing on this block. This is what happens when I get singing too loudly:
Oops! Too much singing!
I had to laugh when I started to press the seam. I seriously considered (for about 30 nano-seconds) leaving this block the way it was just to mess with people when they looked at the finished quilt. I quickly decided the only person I’d be messing with would be me because I wouldn’t be able to stand that it was different, so I got out my trusty seam ripper and went to work. Sigh…….
Churn Dash squares on the wall. Trying to decide about the colors to keep.
Here’s the design wall so far. I only have 16 blocks so need to make about 15 more. I really want this quilt to be bigger than just a wall hanging or throw size, so I’ll be making more blocks. I’ll keep you updated on my progress. Meanwhile, what are you working on?
Linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. Be sure to check out all the other WIP’s!
Looks marvelous! I love singing when I sew and it
Does screw things up sometimes for me as well.
I’m still working on an apron quilt I started forever ago
A lot if appliqués, I’m really getting into that lately.
Can’t wait to see all your blocks on the design wall!
Happy sewing sister❤️
I love your applique work! One day I’ll get brave and try it too!
So glad I am not the only one who does that. Well done on keeping a sense of humour about it!
Hi Catherine! Thanks for stopping by. You’re right, humor keeps us going and makes quilting so much more fun!
Great job on the blocks! I would have laughed too if that would have happened to me. For me, it’s not singing… it’s trying to have a phone conversation while pinning pieces together. More often than not, that 15 minute phone call costs me 20 minutes of ripping. Lol. Can’t wait to see it all put together 🙂

Thanks Jess…..I’ve done the phone thing too, and always end up with a sore neck from tilting my head to hold the phone and end up with crooked seams too. Ahhh, but we’re having fun!! 🙂
