My sister's quilt in progress - TOP FINISHED

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

I started working on a quilt for my sister's new home on the island of Bequia in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a country of islands in the Caribbean. I saw a photo on-line that the poster called "Churn, Churn, Churn," but I couldn't find any information on it. It was easy to copy, so I am. It will be a queen size when finished with 56 blocks. 18 done and 38 to go. Here are the first 16. I will use other batiks that will tie the light and dark ones together better. I love the big Churn Dash pattern that the four blocks combine to make in the turquoise fabric.

Here it is. It finished at 84"x96", an oversized queen. I'll take it home in April and quilt it. I hope she loves it.

Looks fantastic! My DH, Dave, & I hope to be down in those islands sometime in May, and we plan on going to your sisters restaurant! What was the name of it again?

That's such a bummer, Char. They close the restaurant for the off-season on about April 15 and head back to Connecticut for the summer. I beieve it's on Princess Margaret Bay, and its name is The Porthole. So sorry you will miss them. They were looking forward to meeting you. They are avid sailors too.

Aww, that's a drag. We were delayed with our transmission problem for over a month in Panama City. We should have been down there before April 15th. I was looking forward to meeting them as well. When do they return. We will be staying south for quite a while.

Seems to me they reopened in mid-November last year.
