He measures 48" by 54", a nice sized crib quilt.
The white fabric has small pink dots. I was rather disappointed that the fabric was rather blah. I added a flange binding and the aqua fabric added some zing to the outside edge and woke up the dots!
I sewed leftover fabric together to make the backing.
Now I can go check this project off the list.

I love spiral quilting. Beautiful!
Nice job! I love how modern the traditional churn block feels in an oversize scale, with the spiral quilting!
That is so neat - maybe later in the year I can try it on a lap quilt! You are really perfecting this technique!
Beautiful quilting and I think that a tiny newborn would fit right in the middle of the churn dash before he or she grew a bit ! :)
What a great baby quilt! The giant churn dash looks awesome! I do like your flange binding and the spiral quilting makes it super fun!!! Well done!!
I really like that with the off-center spiral quilting! It's pretty amazing how much something as small as an added flange can perk things up, isn't it?
Ha great minds! Mine is spiral quilted too! I like your offset version. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF!
I like pieced backs. Adds interest and saves having to purchase fabric specifically for the backing (if you have enough left over.
The quilting gives it such a nice texture! Well done!
Great idea for the quilting, I love your quilt!
I like the flange binding. I need to remember to try that more often.
LOVE this super-sized Churn Dash!! Oh, the quilt math it would take for me to figure out something SEW clever!!!
Hello Gretchen,
This is a beautiful quilt. I love the contrast between the straight lines of the piecing and the curves of the quilting. And I have a weakness for tiny spots, too.
Thank you for linking up with Free Motion Mavericks!
Love, Muv
