It's a Finish! Irish Chain

 Irish Chain

It's a finish! 

66 x 78

 I made this quilt top in April 2019. The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month then was aqua and I noticed I had a lot of aqua scraps so I turned them into an Irish Chain. 

 Most of the black pieces were from a swap of half width of black and white fabric strips cut at 2.5 inches.  That provided quite a variety of different fabrics and I emptied a small shoe box that held those black white fabrics. 

 I quilted it very simply with diagonal lines on my DSM. I used aqua thread in the aqua spaces and black  thread through the black squares.  I made a scrappy black and white binding. 

I used a black and white paisley print with pink accents on the back. I didn't have quite enough so I filled in with an aqua scrap. It's a weird big print - a mix of butterflies and steam punk, I guess, with a few roaches thrown in.  I think I bought it as a remnant and it was all rolled up so I didn't see it in all it's creepy glory.
