I chose another fairly easy block for this week.
And it's only 2 colors, just for you, Amy Jo. :)

Since when are triangles easy?
Oh, it's a churn dash block! I know this because I just love saying it: churn dash, churn dash...
Thanks Amandajean, triangles are my favourite! I love to learn the original names names of blocks So this is a churn dash block! Wow, it won’t take long before I will be a real quilter!
Oh, Thank you...you know I love those one color blocks!! I'm now caught up and will get these done soon, so I can remain caught up!
Now that I'm caught up, I'm ready to go with this one! Ready to "churn"!

Thanks for keeping up even when life throws you a curve. Hope everyone in your family is doing well. I got caught up over the weekend and am so in the groove I can't wait to sew tonight! I am using this quilt-a-long as an opportunity to practice being precise, and it's really helped me a lot to learn what works best for me. Those matchy points look pretty good, if I do say so myself! So glad to be a part, even though I don't have a blog. Someday soon I will try posting pictures.
I havent caught up yet I only found the site last week but I do have the first 4 weeks cut out
hope to be fully caught up before week 10 is posted :-)
You're amazing, with everything going on, you still got a new block out to us. Thank you. I hope all is well at your house. I've been thinking about you all.
Thank You !!! Maritta
Is this block also called a Monkey Wrench?
Condolences, AJ, and thanks for keeping up the Quilt-A-Long, although we all would have understood skipping it for a while... :) *hug*
So I will do this today, and will be caught up. So good. Thanks
You are amazing. Nothing stops - or even delays you!
