I absolutely love this quilt pattern. Thank you so much for posting the instructions.
I love this pattern! I was making a quilt with the same stars and a different alternate block but couldn’t get motivated to finish. I didn’t like the other block. After you posted this pattern I revamped my plan and used your idea instead. I had to revise since my stars were 12″ but I got it finished and it’s now on the longarm. Thanks for the inspiration! I will definitly make this pattern again.
I love this quilt! I grew up in Illinois and call the churn dash block Lincoln’s Platform. (We called a similar 5-patch pattern Churn Dash.) Thank you for posting it as well as readers’ variations. It’s a joy to see (and I’m sure that when I make a smaller version for a prayer quilt, it will be a joy to make). I’ll use my Tri-Recs rulers for the star points. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I really love how your quilt has turned out. Very lovely.

Wow! This is just the pattern that I’ve been looking for to make for Quilts of Valor. Thank you so much!

Mary, you are so creative….and generous with your designs. Thanks, this quilt is a beauty!
Wow! I really like it! Thanks, Mary.
What a pretty design that will turn into a gorgeous quilt. Definitely on my “to do” list.
Yippee! A pattern to use with my Accuquilt GO!. I love the triangle in a square star pattern. This is a really pretty setting for these blocks. I love the circles your eyes make from it.
That’s a pretty quilt!
Oh how lovely!! I really like how the blocks go together.
