Nested Churn Dash–Large Quilt Entry

October 24, 2014 by persimondreams 7 Comments

The second quilt I’m entering in the Fall of 2014 Blogger’s Quilt Festival

AmysCreativeSide.com

is my most recent finish – Nested Churn Dash. 10748737_10152501675472672_63630197_n

I’ve been making a lot of quilts from my scraps lately – but it seems as they’re all sort of starting to look the same since they’re from the same bins of scraps.  With my Nested Churn Dash Quilt I decided to started with yardage.  Now that I’m done with the quilt I have some fun new scraps to add to my scrap bins!  I started this quilt to follow along with Quilt Jane and her Nested Churn Dash Along – what fun!  And of course – who doesn’t love them some Quilt Jane!? 10728512_10152501675342672_922218967_n

My nested churn dash blocks are made in a sort of ROYGBIV color scheme – with a  bit of brown and different shades of each color thrown in.  There are two different blocks – basically flips of each other. One thing I’m most proud of this quilt is how I added that extra half square triangle and strip to the ends of each row thereby creating a sort of ‘chevron’ effect with the blocks.  It was my solution to make the quilt a bit wider even though I didn’t need more length. 10748783_10152501675307672_845646907_n

    That is quite a project for a photo shoot. It is hard to photograph quilts outdoors if there is any wind at all. The lighting is always tricky too. She did a good job and great job on all those finishes!

    I love the color combination! I find that I need to start using my scraps now and less yardage. Maybe my next quilt! Good luck in the festival!
