Weekly Finish #15: Vintage Churn Dash

Vintage Churn Dash Finished Size: 79" x 94" I finished the top for this quilt in May and posted about it here . This is a recreation of an old vintage top I found in the wild. This is the original top, and the big hole with burned edges can be seen in the picture. Originally, I thought I'd take it apart and salvage what I could but instead decided to recreate it. There are 30 Churn Dash blocks, and each block is 12" finished. The yellow sashing and borders are 3" finished. I found some red calico fabric in my stash that I thought was perfect. And, in an effort to keep with the original quilter's design, I used a mix of solid and printed fabric for the backgrounds. I used the Springtime Waltz E2E quilting design from My Creative Stitches. I love the little bird and butterfly. So springy! The backing is pieced from a cotton-blend sheet and fabric from my stash. The batting is Warm & White. I usually use the natural batting, but I bought a 40-yard
