I read about this interesting quilt-a-long on this Piecework magazine website. This article directs participants to the Park’s website for instructions for blocks 1-6.
The second block is the Churn Dash. There are step by step instructions, as well as diagrams, photographs, and stories. I am using small scrappy pieces of fabric that I have and am hand sewing the blocks.
Here are the first two blocks

Lovely neat blocks! Hand-sewing these traditional blocks is a good way to get the historical quilt-making experience.
Both of these designs are among the very first piecework I did when I was a beginner. The Nine Patch was part of a project in elementary school; mine became a cushion.
The Churn Dash blocks I made in Japan when I was much older but still new to quilting. If I remember correctly, I made two potholders and then some other things.
Making these by hand and publishing them on your blog must evoke a lot of memories, not only for you, but for me, too.
THANK YOU, Pamela!
When you look at it in detail, this one isn't too complicated either, but it does look very impressive!
