I’ve jumped on the mini quilt bandwagon with one of my latest finishes, Mini Churn Dash. I actually made it over the summer, but I’m able to share it with you now that it’s been published in the latest issue of The Quilting Quarterly by the National Quilting Association.
I was actually able to use this mini for two features in the magazine – the pattern on how to make the mini quilt, and my regular recurring column, Quilt As Desired.
I used a few fabrics from Bonnie & Camille’s Miss Kate line, generously provided to me by Moda Fabrics. I had so much fun making this mini!
I wanted to keep both the quilting and the binding in scale so I reduced my quilting stitch length and I finished it with 1/8″ binding rather than the standard 1/4″. It really wasn’t that hard to do. I used single-fold binding strips that were only 1 1/4″ wide and sewed with 1/8″ seams.
I love using Wonder Clips for binding my quilts. The more clips, the better!
In case you missed the magazine issue, you can purchase the individual pattern here.
I’ve been enjoying seeing quilts made with churn dash blocks and am so glad I was able to combine two trending ideas, mini’s and churn dashes into one quilt. If you are inspired to make your own Mini Churn Dash, I’d love to see it! You can share a picture with my via email, on my flickr page, or on Instagram with the hashtag “minichurndash.”

Love this and the micro binding!
Super cute!
This is is on my list to make! Love miniatures!
I love this quilt!! Churn Dash is one of my favorite patterns. I am definitely putting this one on my “to do” list…. Thanks for sharing!
How big is the mini? And what do you do with it?
It’s 15″ and is great for wall decor or a table topper.
Christa, I love how you used just a few colors and how the repetition inside the frames looks. There’s even another pattern with arrows–amazing! But 1/8″ seams–OMG!
This is such a lovely pattern! And your mini quilt is so darn cute!
Have a great day!
I love the color combination. Don’t know how you have time for all that you do. Love this. 🙂
