Nested Churn Dash Quilt-a-long – Starts June 1st 2014
Who is ready for a quilt-a-long of the Nested Churn Dash? Starting 1st June 2014, I will be taking you through the steps to make a 24″ x 24″ nested churn dash block.
Joining me will be 10 of my favourite quilters who will be making their blocks into a mini quilt.
For the more adventurous, you can continue on and using the 24″ x 24″ finished block you can make a pillow or mini quilt or make a quilt, ranging in size from 28″ x 80″ (1 x 3 block bed runner), 54″ x 54″ (2 x 2 block setting), 80″ x 80″ (3 x 3 block setting) and 106″ x 106″ (4 x 4 block setting). I will provide instructions for each setting.

I am so excited for this QAL!
FYI there is a pattern typo: P-3, in column 'Unfinished HST size' should be 4 1/2" x 4 1/2", both times.
Take care and thanks for coming up with a great design!

I just purchased my pattern. It's just what I need. The center block will be a challenge for me. I don't usually make HST that small.
