Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, friends. I got into my studio this week for the first time since the loss of my dog, and it felt good to sew something, however small. By far, the Churn, Churn Churn pattern is the most popular class I teach from my book, Scrappy Improv Quilting, and I've been wanting to sew another class sample for awhile now.
I decided to make this one in a cool color way with purple, blue, and teal, and I think it is so striking against the solid black background. Here is the original quilt from the book-
I like the single color gradient effect, but it's always nice to show a different option for quilters in my classes. I'm heading to Charlotte, NC next week to teach this one, and then I'm teaching it again in Tulsa, OK in April. So, it seemed like the perfect time to get this new sample "churned" out. I'm working to get it quilted and finished before I leave at the crack of dawn on Wednesday (I literally have to be at the airport at 4:30am).
