Though I have to admit I made it even easier yet by cheating a little. Well, a lot, actually.
I started with this stripe -
and cut some 1" squares, some on grain and some on the bias -
and stitched them together with a random plain square in the middle.
Instant churn dash. Ta da!
I may or may not go back and make a proper block, but for now I'm feeling smug and moving my other projects forward.

A very clever way to make this block, made me smile! Thanks for linking up to 'sew stitch snap SHARE'
You are the queen of Smug!! I would never have guessed.
Genius!
hey thats cute! Nice to visit from Sew Stitch Snap Share..................xxx
Well, clever was my word, too! That was a great idea! I made the teeny tiny churn dash with 1 inch HsTs, and there were a lot of seams in that little guy!
Love your little improv churn dash!!
CHEATER! But Bloody Brilliant!!!!
Very cute! Gotta love the versatility of striped fabrics!
Yes, its improper and cheating to use fabric to its best advantage when making quilts. All those fussy cutters should be locked up!
Very novel approach. I like it!
