Churn dash is a classic block. And how cute is this version at 3″ x 3″ finished size.
The video demonstrates how to make the block with foundation piecing. In such small sizes I find it’s a lot easier to get an accurate block that using traditional piecing. but traditional templates are also available on my Etsy shop.
I used regular copy paper but you may find it to be a bit thick.
You can use special paper for foundation piecing if you prefer.
Let’s get to it!
How to make a 3″ churn dash block
Note: I recently started to use an Add a quarter ruler, the yellow ruler in the video, after some followers recommended it and I have to say it’s a true time saver.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
