Jack's Chain


Jack's Chain is still in the hoop and probably will be for awhile. It's a large quilt. 


Right now I'm  using navy thread and just quilting x through the little 3 inch nine patches and quilting 1/4 (eyeballed) inside the triangles and quilting in the ditch around the hexagons.


Later I will quilt this motif in all of the hexagons in different colored threads. 

Since there's a whole lot of slow stitching going on in this thing I'm linking up to:

And since there's a whole lot of scraps in this quilt I'm linking up to:

Oh yes those large quilts take a while, but it so well worth the time. Love the motif you are using! Enjoy your stitiching!

I've got some 9 patches leftover from my Katie's Star Patch quilt, and I think I'll just make some more here and there to add to them. Eventually, I'll have a Jack's Chain, too, right?
In the meantime, I'll just sit here and admire yours! I love all the fun in the fabrics and colors!

Ooh, a nine patch wedding ring! Love the center motif in the large hexie. This is going to be fun to stitch each week!
