Wonky churn dash with Lori Tourscher

Lori will guide you through the process of transforming a classic Churn Dash quilt block into a fun, modern version by giving it a “wonky” twist. The Churn Dash is a beloved traditional quilt block, but with just a few creative changes, we can give it a fresh, contemporary look that adds personality and visual interest.

Simplifying the design by only using two colours helps allow the unique shapes and angles to stand out. The end result will resemble a stylized hashtag symbol, giving the block a bold, graphic quality that fits beautifully into modern quilting styles.

Whether you're new to quilting or an experienced quilter looking for a new take on an old favourite, this project will show you how a small change in structure can breathe new life into a traditional design. Let's get started modernizing the Churn Dash — one wonky block at a time.
