Make a Churn Dash Block from Charm Squares

Today we are going to make a Churn Dash block from our charm squares.  The Churn Dash is a popular block and you will see many variations of it.

WHAT YOU NEED:

DARK: 4 x 5″ squares

LIGHT:  5 x 5″ squares

LET”S SEW:

1.  Trim 1 x Light  to 4.5″ square

2.  Take 2 light and 2 dark squares :

  •   Take the light squares and fold in half and finger press or draw a line down the centre.
  •   Place the light square and a dark square, right sides together and sew a scant 1/4″ either side of the centre line. (better too scant than not enough)
  •   Cut along the line between the two rows of stitching.

NANNY TIP:  If you are using a Directional fabric, you will need to join one pair of squares in one direction and the other pair in the other direction

3.  Take 2 x light and 2 Dark squares and make HSTs (Half Square Triangles)

NANNY TIP:  If using a directional fabric, fold the squares along the diagonal to check that you have the right direction before you mark and sew

  • diagonal line
  • scant 1/4″ either side of line
  • cut between the lines

4.  Trim all squares to 4.5″

5.  Organise your squares:

6.  Sew your 9 patch and press.

 

That completes our Churn Dash – Block number 8 of our 9 Patch Sampler.  We are now half way through and I am loving seeing your finished blocks so thanks for sharing!

Until next time

Nanny xx
