Two of Five
This week, Barb Groves, of Me & My Sister Designs, offers this easy-to-piece block to feature a few of your favorite fabrics. Tammy (KTQ piecer) chose a selection of red, tan and blue prints from my upcoming Freedom Road line for our Kansas Troubles' block.
According to Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns (3rd Edition), this block has had a dozen different names over the years from Churn Dash , Old Mill Design, Hens and Chickens and Double T to Shoo Fly, Monkey Wrench, Fisherman's Reel and Quail's Nest. It's all in the eye of the maker.
Churn Dash is one of my favorite blocks to work with because of it's versatility. This option has 9 equal size units, but it's easy to transform these pieces to create a new look. What will you create with this week's Two of Five block?
