Thank goodness we don’t have to churn our own butter these days! Surely that’s the work the Ladies Art Company were lamenting when they named this block in 1897. Jinny Beyer found two instances of the block being called Picture Frame, also.

I had to include Grecian Square today, as it identical to Churn Dash in its basic grid. Yet, the blocks could not look any more different!
Grecian Square was published as Grecian Designs by the Ladies Art Company, way back in 1897. It actually didn’t get the name Grecian Square until 1928, when it appeared in Prairie Farmer. The block goes by at least a dozen names according to Jinny Beyer, so I chose the one with which I was familiar.

Congratulations! You’ve made it through the first month. Our beginners have mastered Four Patches and Nine Patches and Half-Square Triangles along the way, and hopefully we’ve all had a great deal of fun. I have!
Ruth Finley documented the name of this block in her 1929 reference, Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them, according to Barbara Brackman. What a whimsical name for today’s block.

Let’s continue where we were, practising making Half-Square Triangles.
Barbara Brackman’s research reveals that Ruth Finley identified the name of this block in her 1929 work, Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them. Ruth Finley also noted it being called Triple X at the same time.

On to the smallest Half-Square Triangles I could reasonably set!
I searched high and low to no avail when it came to this block. I think this is one of the blocks I simply made up! It reminds me of an ornate, antique picture frame, hence it is christened Antique Frame.
