My friend was given a box of blocks that were hand pieced and not put together into a quilt. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. Anyway, her family didn't want them so gave a big box to my friend who shared with me. I chose these
there are about 30 churn dash and probably hundreds of 4 patches. They are shirtings/and feedsack fabrics. The only bad thing is they are weird sizes. The blocks are 10" not 10 1/4. and the 4 patches are 4" not 4 1/4 . I love the churn dash blocks. This was the first block that my grandmother taught me when I was a kid. I marvel when I think of the time it took her to cut all of the pieces, and hand piece. I'm sure there was no rotary cutter involved. Probably a cardboard template and a pencil.
