Mini Monday strikes again

This week's Marvelous Monday Mini was a little easier than last week's.   An easy churn dash!


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.

Onward to Are We There Yet?

    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!

    Yes, its improper and cheating to use fabric to its best advantage when making quilts. All those fussy cutters should be locked up!
