Our quilt club has moved to a new location that's actually right next door to the place where the club has met for 35 years. The new place is an old school building. That building was constructed at a time when the cafeterias were built as a separate building. The old cafeteria is owned by the County and that's where we have been meeting. Fun fact: my college roommate's Mom was the last principle of that school! Today we have our first sewing days. Yesterday I worked the voting precinct and it was a really long day. Normally, I'd do nothing today but I don't want to miss our first day. I may only stay a couple of hours, but I'm going. This is the kit I'm taking today. I have 2 quilts in here, one is patriotic. The other is animal print batiks. The batiks are left over from Karen's quilt. The pattern is this one. I've made it several times because it's simply a churn dash block and comes together quickly.

When I first clicked on the pattern link, I thought - that's not the churn dash pattern! But after scrolling a bit, I stand corrected. I don't recall seeing it made this way, with the center square and rectangles all the same fabric, and no sashing. It's almost like a different pattern. I really like it!

An old school building is perfect for the Country School Quilters. I hope you have fun, even if you only stay a couple of hours.

Seems fitting that your group would be meeting in an actual school house. Comments are closed.
