Churn Dash Baby Quilt

Sometimes you just need a quilt in a hurry, and last weekend was one of those. One of my friends recently had a baby and I desperately wanted a quilt to gift her when we visited. Then I remembered the single-block churn dash quilt in the Thimble Blossom's book Simply Retro. Perfect! 

 
 
Made with two Daysail prints and a little Hello Darling Binding

And some Prints Charming on the back.

A Fresh Daydream

So, with several hundred 5" squares cut out, I've started assembling the first blocks. I've been eyeing off this quilt for ages, from Camille's Simply Retro.

Called Fresh, it's a large 96" square. 

 Each block is made up of four smaller blocks of nine squares each; some very simple HSTs.

 

When the four blocks are assembled it will look something like this:

 

My plan is to make all the sub-blocks then shuffle until I'm happy with the balance of colour in each block.
