Finished Churn Dash Quilts

I started making a churn dash quilt for my sister-in-law last April.  Her birthday is in July, so I’d have plenty of time to finish it right?  Yeah, no. It didn’t work out that way.  But, I did get it finished in time for Christmas…… along with one for me!

Jennifer Paganelli fabric

I used fabric by Jennifer Paganelli that I have had for years and years.  They were just waiting for the right quilt(s) to come along.

For my sister-in-law’s quilt, I chose a happy, green and blue small print fabric.  Since the backing is bright green and purple, I thought subdued would be a better border choice.

The second quilt I opted for a bright, bold, green, rose print.

I chose a calmer backing for this quilt.

The green combination was a bit of a gamble, but there are so many colors on the front, I figured I could get away with it.  Sometimes you just have to go with what you love!

We now have two happy, bright colored, cuddle in the winter quilts!
