I decided to share a quilt I haven't posted about yet...I got the pattern back in 2003 during the annual Las Vegas area shop hop, but I don't think I finished the quilt until some time in 2004.
I had started collecting a few 30's prints and decided this would be a fun quilt to use them in.
I love the churn dash pattern...it's just one of those patterns I've always been drawn to...do you have patterns and designs like that?
Hope you're enjoying all of the festival quilts...and the market posts that are starting to show up...I'll have some market things to share soon! Have a wonderful day!

I was wondering how you decided to share just one quilt when you have so many lovely ones. Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Love it, Sherri.
Churn Dash is one of my favorite traditional blocks and I just love the 1930's repro fabrics.
I love reading all the stories behind the Festival quilts too, including yours. This quilt is so pretty. Love the soft colors and the white sashing and the striped border. The churn dash block is fun to make, isn't it? My current favorite blocks are the wonky star and string-piece. Thanks for sharing!
I love the fabrics and the pattern is stunning.

Great quilt!~Could be an antique, by looking at it in the photos! I prefer quilts that aren't perfect. Even though I don't see any lack of perfection in your piecing, I prefer things to be REAL.. Thanks for sharing! XO
Lovely! I love Churn Dash and 30s fabrics and this quilt is just wonderful!
I think the Churn Dash is a favorite for many (including myself) so his one is even more wonderful because it speaks to all of us that still have that block in the Must Make pile.
Gorgeous!
Oh, what a lovely churn dash quilt! Thanks for sharing pics and the story behind it!

This is a lovely quilt. I can imagine snuggling up, under it.
I agree churn dash is great. I havent done one yet, but this quilt makes me want to! Thanks for sharing this
Such a cheerful classic!
And as a coincidence, the quilt I'm going to post is a 30's too!!
Must be spring!
What an amazing quilt! I love the pattern and the fabrics you used.
Have fun quilting!

What an incredible quilt!! And I have to tell you~ last year we went to Las Vegas for the first time and as we were leaving my husband asked me what was my favourite sight in Las Vegas and of course I said (without hesitation!) the Christmas Goose!! LOVED that shop!! My husband thought it would be one of the spectacular casinos....not even close!!;o)
Take care!!

Love your quilt. Aren't those 30s fabrics wonderful! Never thought of using this pattern and in those fabrics it is fantastic.
Sherri- Please forgive my laziness for just posting on this one quilt because oh my stars and pinwheels===every previous post I'm looking at is FABULOUS too. Wow. You sure are a git'rdone kinda gal. I like that about you, but I REALLY like how you put patterns and fabrics together. REally beautiful stuff!
Great quilt, Sherri! Churn dash is one of my favorite blocks, but I've never made a churn dash quilt. This makes me want to, though!
Love this quilt. But then I love the "old" patterns, and the 30's fabric. Thank you for sharing.
This is beautiful, Sherri. I love the 30s prints and the traditional pattern. Love it ♥
What a beautiful quilt! I really love the striped border!
I just found your blog and went back through all your older posts and OH MY GOODNESS! You are quite the quilter! One very talented gal!
I love all your quilts and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing them.
My MIL is a wonderful quilter too, but I'm more of a 'quilter-wanna-be'~ LOL!

Oh Sherri, you made my heart sing!
Churn-dash is also a favourite of mine and I am looking forward to making it one day,
Have a Blessed Pentecost!

Another beauty, Sherri. You simply can't go wrong with 30's fabrics - so timeless.
Love this cheerful quilt. The churn dash block was one of the first blocks I really loved. I made my first big quit as an internet block swap in 1998- churn dashes in purple! Thanks for sharing this early quilt.
Hi Sherri, beautiful quilt as always. I still follow your blog and visit it everytime you post something always great.
I love the Christmas Goose! It is my favorite shop in town :)
Your quilt is so cheerful and bright. I love it.
Churn Dash is one of my all time favorites, along with Log Cabin and Double Irish Chain. So far I have made a mini Irish Chain and a twin size Log Cabin, but no Churn Dash! Yours looks happy, scrappy, and charming. Thank you for sharing your quilt's story :)
Last winter I received churn dash blocks for my birthday from my small quilt group. It's to be a "charity" quilt so I will be sashing the blocks more simply than what you did with yours. However, I love the way you sashed your blocks. Hmmm, another churn dash quilt may in the works!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt.
Ooh, I LOVE it! It's very striking and beautiful! What a great accomplishment. I also love your paper roses quilt below too.
Sherri your Churn Dash is gorgeous in the 30s prints! Thanks for sharing it

Thanks for sharing

Very sweet quilt! Charming and inspiring both. Thanks for sharing it.
I love your quilt Sherri. Nothing better than 1930's repro fabrics. And I love the Christmas Goose too. It's a great shop. I used to go there all the time when Vegas was my hubby's territory with work.
Your quilt is gorgeous Sherri. I love the 1930's and I too love the churndash block.
Your quilt is gorgeous! What a fun setting for those pretty blocks.
Love your '30's churn dash quilt! Love the piano key border. I'm drawn to '30's quilts. I have 3 or 4 projects in "plastic containers", but have yet to finish one. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy Spring Market!
A very pretty way to showcase 30's prints.
Love this quilt, churn dash is one of my favorite patterns!
You know that the 30s prints hold a very special place in my heart. I am just absolutely loving this quilt! The churn dash is a terrific one to showcase 30s prints. LOVE it!!
Such a happy quilt. Just wondering, how bit is it? Somehow I see it on a guest bed. Who wouldn't know they were welcomed if that was there for them? I like how each block is bordered.

Very, very, very nice quilt!!! Good work!!! Happy Festival!
Hmmm....I'm inspired to try the churn dash design. Thanks so much. Sew On!
Beautiful quilt! Love the fresh colours.
this is gorgeous...i love reproductions and have been collecting them for awhile...well maybe hording is more the term...this quilt is a perfect pattern for the fabrics
Sherry, it's gorgeous, and the perfect entry for the quilt festival! With all the new, fancy quilt patterns available, being a traditional quilter, I appreciate the churn dash and your choice of using reproduction fabrics was an A+ decision. I like how you framed each individual block, and how it came together as a whole. Beautiful! ~karen
It is a beautiful quilt. I love the churn dash. I would love to make some quilts using the traditional blocks.
Lovely blocks, great design, fun fabrics. You did a great job. Love it.

It is so lovely! That feeling when a quilt is finished and we are happy with it is so great isn't it?
very nice--love the colors and it looks great to me--nice border that compliments it so well
That is one gorgeous quilt! I love everything about it--the pattern, the scrappiness of it, and the cheerful colors you used.
