Blue and golden churn dashes

While surfing and learning about quilting (which is an everyday affair !), i decided to learn about the different blocks. That's when i first saw the churn dash block and read about its history. Do read it in the link. It's fascinating! 

I like the simple design. There's something about it which i find very appealing. So i just had to try it out. I first made a table runner a few months back (will post pictures soon). Recently i decided to use the block for cushion covers. The fabric i used was brocade. Had this blue and gold brocade and when i decided to combine it with a golden fabric, it looked so royal!!! 

I just had to quilt them. Something seemed amiss without the quilting. The back is an overlap of the same fabrics, with a velcro strip for fastening. 

Was pretty pleased with the end products............



I made two cushion covers, both complementing each other. That way they are similar yet not identical.



This is how the back looks




This is a picture of the two cushion covers together - don't they complement each other just right?
