Churn Dash

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Churn Dash quilt block is an easy nine patch block made with simple shapes -- rectangles and half square triangles. It's a good choice for a beginner quilter to learn how the patches go together.

What is interesting about this block, is that it is known my many other names. Just some of those names for this block (and this is not a complete list) are:

* Monkey Wrench (probably the most common alternate name)
* Fishermen's Reel
* Hole in the Barn Door
* Indian Hammer
* Quail's Nest

In any event, it makes for a fun block to construct.
