I've never tried a flange binding but yours turned out great! A scattering of double Churn Dash blocks is a great idea! Oh, I must get that app to identify bird songs! Beautiful sunset--as always!

I'm impressed that you know when you started it!!<br />The quilt for Ben is perfect for a little boy. I'll bet he loves it! Great idea to turn to Etsy for the fabric. One of my grandsons also loves Thomas the Train. Now I'm looking for the other boys who love Paw Patrol. I'll have to check out Etsy.<br />Love your churn dash blocks, especially the double! That's a tiny block, but right up your alley.<br />Love your views!!<br />Stay well, dear Janet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-12315119081315059282022-06-13T11:32:02.911-06:002022-06-13T11:32:02.911-06:00Congrats on the finish of Wyoming Star, Janet. It...Congrats on the finish of Wyoming Star, Janet. It is a beauty. It must be so satisfying to have it finished after so many years in progress. (I remember the days of no sewing room. I was grateful to have my mom's old black Singer in a table because it meant I didn't have to pick up everything from the table. But in those days I wasn't sewing quilts, just clothes. I think clothes take less space.)<br />What a fun photo of your grandson and his quilt. Good thinking to frame the whole piece of fabric for a quilt. The idea of a flange binding is interesting. I'm glad it worked so well for you, especially since it was your first time going it.<br />Your churn dash blocks look like "you." The fabrics and colors say "Janet" to me. The quilt will be gorgeous, I'm sure.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-46222516674386541322022-06-12T10:52:33.157-06:002022-06-12T10:52:33.157-06:00Your long time project's finish is so beautifu...Your long time project's finish is so beautiful and inspiring!

Cannot wait to see how you set them and border them. Maybe a bit of Kim Diehl finishes? I am starting my third Dresden.

Isn't it amazing to look back and realize how many obstacles there were in our early sewing and quilting adventures, and yet we persevered. Your first attempt at a flange binding was very successful and adds a perfect pop of color to the quilt border. Your little grandson looks mighty pleased with his new quilt. I've never tried a flange binding but really should try one before my quilting days draw to a close. All those lovely churn dash blocks, they would be a great quilt ministry meeting project to use up some ofthe many small fabric pieces we currently have, thanks for the photo inspiration!

I was beginning to wonder where the mini-master had disappeared to and then, there it was, the double-Churn Dash! :) I love those doubles, too; they will look amazing sprinkled in and, if anyone would (and could) do a 1" center block, it would be you; go for it!!
