The Churn Dash Quilt Block is this month’s block. What is a churn dash? It is the cross pieces on the bottom of the pole that is used in a butter churn. As you pull the churn up and down, the cream flows around the churn dash and becomes butter.
The Churn Dash Quilt Block is an easy-to-make arrangement of half-square-triangles and rectangles. It is known by many different names. Just to name a few: Broken Plate, Double Monkey Wrench, Double T, Dragon’s Head, Fisherman’s Reel, Hens and Chickens, Hole in the Barn Door, Indian Hammer, Joan’s Doll Quilt, Lincoln’s Platform, Love Knot, Ludlow’s Favorite, Old Mill Design, Picture Frame, Puss in the Corner, Quail’s Nest, Sherman’s March, Shoo Fly, and Wrench.
