Description

This meaningful quilt (41 x 50 inches) was made by CFR Texas volunteers and survivors who created the individual churn blocks, then the final piece was quilted. The Churn Dash pattern originated between 1800 and 1849. The triangle and rectangle perimeter of the block resembles a butter churn and the center square resembles the stick (or “dash”) of the butter churn. Some of the churn squares have flies and insects in the center.
