A Quiltducation from the National Parks Service.... Early Block designs Churn Dash and others

The Nebraska National Parks Service wants you to know about quilts, and the meaning of some early quilt block designs.  It's funny how these same blocks are presented today in modern fabrics and look entirely different.  You would need a database to keep track of what they have been renamed as.

I just saw this same pattern this morning on an Eleanor Burns video, they kept the name of Churn Dash, that I believe can be made with Accuquilt templates.

If you Google the pattern you can find it, in small sizes...OMG so cute.

Or for a quick quilt, a larger block......

I'm sure this one goes by another name.... you can find it on Abyquilts HERE.


Progress...  All large blocks are finished, no one is more surprised than me that these are finished.
