Frequently Asked Questions

When will my pattern ship?
Orders ship within 1–2 business days. If there's ever an unusual delay, I'll let you know.

Can I use fat eighths or fat quarters?
Yes, both work. Each size calls for dark and light 1/8th yard pieces (fat 1/8ths or regular 1/8th yards), or you can use half as many ¼ yards/fat quarters instead.

What makes it "fast"?
The pattern includes a short-cut, no-waste piecing method that makes 2 Churn Dash blocks at a time.

Is there a PDF version?
Yes! For an instant download, you can find the Fast Churn Dash Quilt PDF Pattern here.
