#43 Churn Dasher

Jeannette Moody

The Churn Dash pattern, also called Hole in the Barn Door or Monkey Wrench, has been in continuous use in South Carolina for over 150 years. Quiltmakers enjoy combining the triangles and rectangles into nine-patch blocks, and the association of the pattern with the old-fashioned “churn dasher,” used to turn milk into butter, adds to its appeal.
