These gorgeous Churn Dash swap blocks from Fun with Barb.... what fun to piece these all together, randomly. Any variations (eh hem) in size - sort of didn't matter to me - I just lobbed these blocks together and made this little quilt.
If you are a swapper and you are concerned about points matching up, I highly recommend this as a first step: frame each block in muslin, and then trim to consistent sizes. Some of these blocks were "off" by more than 1/4", which makes a big difference for sure. I hadn't noticed until I was already piecing it, so I just pressed on and managed my expectations for accuracy;).
Machine quilted it simply, quickly, casually, in a Hanging Diamonds fashion. Monofilament thread in the needle.
I attached the binding by machine too this time. It is ready for me to donate to our Guild's Comfort Quilt outreach next month.
Thank you again Barb and all the swappers!
