For those of you who have asked, here are the instructions I got from Sheila that she got from Sharon:
You
have to think of the churn dash as a 9-patch block - then break those components
for the size you need for the size block
a
9" finished block - each unit would need to be 3.5" (unfinished) - so 3.5"
HSTs, the 'bar' sections would be 2" strips stitched together and then sub-cut
into 3.5" , and a 3.5" center.
a
12" finished block - each unit would need to be 4.5" (unfinished) - so 4.5"
HSTs, the 'bar' sections would be 2.5" strips stitched together and then sub-cut
into 4.5", and a 4.5" center.
I used the 4 1/2" units, simply because I have more 2 1/2" strips than any other size. I also have the GO! die for half square triangles that finishes at a little over 4 1/2", giving me a very nice square after I trim it. It doesn't take many of those 12 inch blocks to make a good sized quilt.
I hope you try this one and that you share!
Hugs and kisses,

Looking good, girlfriend. It 's going to be fun watching your blocks come together.
I'm glad to see those dimensions, because your quilt was tempting me. Thanks for a nudge in the right direction!
You are so sweet to share these dimensions with us. I've thought about this quilt all weekend. :D
Looking so pretty. Thank you for sharing the instructions!
Those sure are pretty. I'm watching you put it together. That's one pattern I've yet to try..
This churn dash pattern sure is lovely. I like the fabric you used, too. If I could quilt, I would love to make this, but I do not have the talent. You are so gifted making your awesome quilts. I enjoy looking at your pretty quilts.
This is the first time I have seen this pattern. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
Just love the center with the 4 patch
I love this scrappy churn dash. For sure on my list.
