Yippee! A pattern to use with my Accuquilt GO!. I love the triangle in a square star pattern. This is a really pretty setting for these blocks. I love the circles your eyes make from it.

I love this quilt! I grew up in Illinois and call the churn dash block Lincoln’s Platform. (We called a similar 5-patch pattern Churn Dash.) Thank you for posting it as well as readers’ variations. It’s a joy to see (and I’m sure that when I make a smaller version for a prayer quilt, it will be a joy to make). I’ll use my Tri-Recs rulers for the star points. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love this pattern! I was making a quilt with the same stars and a different alternate block but couldn’t get motivated to finish. I didn’t like the other block. After you posted this pattern I revamped my plan and used your idea instead. I had to revise since my stars were 12″ but I got it finished and it’s now on the longarm. Thanks for the inspiration! I will definitly make this pattern again.

Beautiful quilt. I want to make this ! A little confused though, are there instructions for cutting sizes, or just for finished piece sizes ?

Mary,
I was just told about your website this morning by a friend and fellow quilter. I love it! And I absolutely love this quilt pattern, especially the circular feel that the points create… Very stunning! I will definitely have to make this one soon.

I love this quilt and used it for our quilting group’s churn dash challenge. I will machine quilt it so I am looking for suggestions. Mary, I hope you have an idea about what would look best for the quilting pattern. Thanks for posting such a great quilt and giving me the inspiration I needed to finish.

Can you make the star blocks with a trirec ruler? I love this pattern. Thanks for sharing it.

I want to make this quilt with the 2 1/2 yards of white fabric for the background and a single color for the churn dash but scrappy for the rest. I have a lot of Fat Quarter 1930’s fabrics that I’ve collected & want to use them for this. How do I know if I have enough fabric? How much fabric for the churn dash blocks alone (not including the white)? and how much fabric combined for the scrappy rest?
